Dance in a Madhouse
1917

A monochrome etching depicting a lively scene with multiple figures, possibly at a dance or social gathering. In the foreground, a woman in a flowing dress is dancing energetically with a bald man, both appearing to be in motion. Other figures in the background are engaged in conversation or watching the dance, with expressions ranging from amusement to indifference. The setting suggests an indoor space with a window and curtains on the right side, and the artwork has a dynamic, sketch-like quality.
