8666194 Menuett / Minuet (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Menuett. Im glitzernden Spiel getafelter Spiegelwande, im Flimmern kristallner Leuchter, wo alles Sein zu zierlichem Leuchten, Sichverneigen und -wenden geworden war: hier wurde auch Musik und Tanz des Menuetts mit seinen Verneigungen und Wendungen zu marchenhaftem Sichspiegeln der Menschen. Alles spiegelte im Tanz: Geist, Anmut, Reichtum, Kleidung und das Gluck eines Jahrhunderts. Translation: Minuet. In the glittering play of paneled mirror walls, in the flickering of crystal chandeliers, where everything had become a delicate glow, bowing and turning: here the music and dance of the minuet with its bows and turns became fairy-tale reflections of people. Everything was reflected in the dance: spirit, grace, wealth, clothing and the happiness of a century.

This stunning colour lithograph titled "Menuett / Minuet" by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) captures the essence of elegance and grace in a historical dance form. The intricate details of the paneled mirror walls and crystal chandeliers create a mesmerizing backdrop for the dancers as they move with precision and poise.
The minuet, with its elaborate bows and turns, is depicted as a reflection of society's spirit, grace, wealth, and happiness during a bygone era. The artist skillfully portrays the fairy-tale quality of this dance through his use of light and shadow, capturing the essence of a century long past.
As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported to a world where music and movement intertwine to create a magical spectacle. The dancers' movements seem to mirror not only each other but also the opulence and sophistication of their surroundings.
