Abstract
Anonymous print of two dancers, perhaps with a balletic background, giving an impression of Spanish dancing. Both are holding castanets, their wrists curving inward; their eyes are in the general direction of the viewer, rather than of each other. The woman (1.) and man are both poised on their left foot. A sketchily rendered outdoor setting, a building in the distance.
