Dancing Couple

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body view of two individuals, a man and a woman, standing closely together. The man is on the right, facing the woman, with his left arm extended outward, and his right arm slightly raised. He has a bearded face with a serious expression and closely cropped hair. The woman stands on the left, holding a small object in her left hand, with her right hand near her chest. Her facial features are delicately rendered, showing her wearing her hair in an intricate updo. Both figures wear flowing garments with detailed folds; the man's clothing is draped around him, creating a sense of movement, while the woman's attire is more structured. The background features a simple, lightly textured landscape. A decorative letter 'A' in a box is near the top left corner of the image.
