About this work

This print shows a dancer on stage with geese below. It’s a simple scene, but the print was made back in 1781. The artist, Nathaniel Dance, signed it, and it belongs to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The funniest part is the short verse under the image. It’s about a man bragging at Sparta until someone calls his bluff with a goose. Check out the Romanticism movement next.
