Dansend boerenpaar, man geeft over 1537

"Dansend boerenpaar, man geeft over" (Dancing Peasant Couple, Man Vomits), created in 1537 by German Renaissance artist Sebald Beham, is a small, detailed etching that depicts a satirical scene. A peasant couple is depicted in the midst of a dance, the man in the throes of vomiting. Beham's use of fine lines and cross-hatching creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene. The couple's exaggerated expressions and the man's vomiting suggest a humorous take on peasant life, highlighting the artist's interest in capturing everyday moments and follies. This small artwork is a testament to Beham's mastery of the etching technique and his keen eye for social commentary.
