~ Ball (Tanz) auf der Alm ~
 
It's a festive occasion in the Spring and Summer when the cattle are taken to the Alm (mountain pasture) and anything goes socially. The scene on this porcelain stein with a lithophane (picture in base viewable when held up to the light) is in the style of Franz DeFregger, ca. 1900.
