About this work

“Polnischer Tanz” is a 19th-century print showing everyday life. The girls wear ballet dresses but have halos and long bodices suggesting Eastern Europe. The men sport Polish caps and cape-jackets. The bagpiper’s instrument has an actual goat head instead of a carved one. That’s a funny mistake but tells us the artist never saw a real Polish pipe. Check out prints by H. Waldow jun.
