The story of El Jaleo
El Jaleo is an oil-on-canvas painting completed by John Singer Sargent in 1882. The large canvas depicts a Spanish Gypsy dancer performing to the music of guitarists seated against a wall; its title refers to the jaleo, the rhythmic clapping and shouts of encouragement that accompany Andalusian dance. Drawn from Sargent's 1879 travels in Spain, it is one of his most ambitious early works and is held by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
