Dansende man met een vrouw 1700 - 1730

This anonymous etching, created between 1700 and 1730, depicts a lively scene of a man and woman engaged in a dance. The couple is captured in a moment of movement, their bodies contorted in a playful, almost comical, way. The artist's use of simple lines and shading creates a sense of immediacy and energy. While the artist remains unidentified, the etching offers a glimpse into the social life and entertainment of the Dutch Golden Age. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming example of the genre of "danse macabre" art.
