Dansende vrouw zwaait met haar rok 1863

"Dansende vrouw zwaait met haar rok" (Dancing Woman Waving Her Skirt) is an etching created by Belgian artist Félicien Rops in 1863. This small artwork, measuring just 73 mm by 52 mm, depicts a woman in a flowing skirt, her pose dynamic as she lifts her skirt and waves it in the air. The drawing is characteristic of Rops' style, known for its suggestive and sometimes satirical depiction of the female form. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this etching offers a glimpse into Rops' oeuvre, which explored themes of sensuality, social critique, and the darker aspects of human nature.
