Spaanse dansers 1836

"Spaanse dansers" (Spanish Dancers) is a lithograph by J.B. Clermans from 1836. It depicts a lively scene of Spanish dancers in traditional dress performing in an outdoor setting, surrounded by onlookers. The work captures the energy and vibrancy of Spanish dance, with the dancers’ movements and expressions conveying a sense of joy and celebration. Clermans' use of detail and shading in the lithograph creates a sense of realism, making the figures and setting appear almost three-dimensional. The lithograph is a testament to the popularity of Spanish dance in the 19th century and is a fine example of 19th-century printmaking.
