"A Negroes' Dance on the Island of Dominica" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Agostino Brunias (c. 1730 – 1796), who was known for his colorful depictions of life in the British West Indies during the colonial period. Brunias moved to England in the 1750s, where he became associated with the Scottish architect Robert Adam. In the 1760s, he relocated to the West Indies, where he spent the remainder of his life painting scenes of daily life in the Caribbean.

This particular work captures a vibrant dance scene, illustrating the cultural practices of the African enslaved people and free people of color on the island of Dominica. The painting is characterized by its lively representation of the figures in motion, the detailed depiction of their clothing and adornments, and the dynamic composition that conveys the rhythm and energy of the dance. Brunias's work often portrays the complex social hierarchy and interactions between different ethnic groups in the Caribbean, and "A Negroes' Dance on the Island of Dominica" is no exception.

The painting serves as an important visual document of the era, offering insights into the cultural expressions of the African diaspora in the West Indies. It also reflects the European fascination with "exotic" colonial subjects, which was prevalent at the time. Brunias's work has been both celebrated for its aesthetic qualities and critiqued for its role in colonial and exoticist narratives. "A Negroes' Dance on the Island of Dominica" is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the context of art history, colonial studies, and Caribbean history.
