Shown in its original frame.
This important painting is prominently featured in the book Liepke, A Retrospective, 2004.
Richly painted, the paintings in this collection read like complete novels, elaborate stories masterfully written in the form of painterly, moody masterpieces. Liepke wants the viewer to partake in the dancing, drinking, laughing, sadness, eroticism, and voyeurism. His art depicts the beauty we see in each other as well as the temporal side of humanity. They offer a timescale of humanistic intimacy and expression through moments within a corner pub, a private music hall, dance studios, and boudoirs portraying the passions and feelings culminating in the modern artistic ideal. — Off The Wall Gallery.
