Dansend gezelschap 1800

This engraving by Lambertus Antonius Claessens depicts a lively scene of a "fandango," a Spanish dance characterized by its energetic and often improvisational nature. The artwork, created in 1800, showcases the artist's skill in capturing movement and expression through detailed linework. The central figures, a couple engaged in a spirited dance, are surrounded by spectators, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The print's small size, measuring just 114 mm by 75 mm, makes it a delicate yet captivating portrayal of a popular social event.
