Tanzendes Paar

Christian Rohlfs, c. 1913

The German artist Christian Rohlfs only produced his first prints at the age of sixty. Before then, he had been active as a painter in various styles. People dancing, as they are in Tanzendes Paar, is a recurring theme in his oeuvre. Perhaps he longed for the freedom of movement he was deprived of after an infection caused his leg to be amputated.
