Two Pantaloons Dancing is a 1621 ink by Edouard Eckman, a Baroque work, depicting dancing, held at National Gallery of Art.
This tiny woodcut shows two funny, baggy-clothed men dancing in a circle. Their hats wobble and their knees kick high. The lines are sharp and scratchy, like a quick doodle. It’s one of just two known works by Edouard Eckman. He made this at age one before he died. The other piece is a portrait of a man holding a glove. This is a woodcut, a technique where ink sits on raised lines.
