On View
Not on viewWith its playful imagery recalling Netherlandish genre prints, indeed begging a moralizing inscription, and its incongruously refined drawing owing much to Callot, Dancing Children may well have been Stella's first attempt in technique. In any case, the print is exceedingly rare.
