Peasant Couple Dancing

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body figures, one in the foreground and one slightly behind. The person in the foreground is leaning forward with one foot off the ground. They have a broad, rounded face, short hair covered by a headscarf, and wear a dress with decorative fasteners and large sleeves. They hold a set of keys. The person in the background has outstretched arms, short, curly hair, and wears a layered cloak with a belt. The background is plain with a subtle texture, displaying the date "1514" and an artistic monogram at the top.
