Dansend boerenpaar 1537

Sebald Beham's 1537 engraving, "Dansend boerenpaar," captures a lively moment of a peasant couple dancing. The image is a fine example of the artist's skill in depicting human movement. The woman's elaborate dress and the man's simple attire provide a glimpse into their social status, while the dynamic poses and lively expressions convey their joy and exuberance. The print's small size, measuring just 47 mm by 34 mm, adds to its intimate and charming quality, a perfect example of German Renaissance art.
