"16498 („Man muss die Leutchen tanzen sehen …“)" is a watercolor on paper by German artist John Elsas (1851- ). This whimsical work, created in 1932, features two purple figures with exaggerated features dancing. The inscription below the figures is a reminder of the importance of finding joy in life and that the "little people" should be allowed to dance and be happy. This piece is currently held in the Städel Museum and represents a unique style of art that combines elements of naive art, folklore, and satire.
