Dansende vrouw houdt een draperie in de lucht 1872 - 1934

"Dansende vrouw houdt een draperie in de lucht" (Dancing Woman Holds a Drapery in the Air) is a 19th-century etching by Belgian artist Armand Rassenfosse. Created between 1872 and 1934, the artwork captures a woman in a graceful pose as she lifts a fabric, its delicate folds flowing around her. The etching's light brown tones contribute to the ethereal atmosphere of the piece, which is characteristic of Rassenfosse's style. The artwork's intimate scale, with a height of 316 mm and a width of 260 mm, allows for a close examination of the artist's meticulous line work. The subject of the artwork, a woman's body and gesture, is commonly found in the works of Rassenfosse, who is known for his graceful and elegant representations of the human form.
