The engraving by Ferdinand von Reznicek beautifully depicts an intimate scene from bourgeois life during the early 20th century. In this exquisite interior setting, we witness a pianist playing a melodious tune while a gracefully dressed female dancer extends her hand in invitation. Her flowing ribbons and Victorian attire add an air of sophistication and charm to the composition. The male counterpart stands attentively nearby, his formal dress reflecting the social etiquette of the era. The image captures not only the artistry of dance but also provides insight into societal customs and manners at that time. It showcases how dancing served as a means for individuals from different backgrounds to come together and engage in elegant social interactions.
