Drie meisjes dansen voor een postkantoor before 1925

Anny Leusink made this drawing, "Drie meisjes dansen voor een postkantoor," with what looks like ink on paper. It feels like a scene snatched from everyday life but rendered with a dash of playful theatricality. You can almost feel Leusink's hand moving across the paper, outlining the figures and capturing their energy. I imagine Leusink observing these young women, maybe even sympathizing with their youthful exuberance against the backdrop of a more buttoned-up world. There’s a beautiful contrast between the joyous dance and the skeptical postal worker peering through the window; it invites us to consider how we respond to spontaneity and freedom in our own lives. There's a dialogue here between constraint and expression, echoing through the artist's lines and the viewer's gaze. The drawing is not about perfection but about the vibrancy of a moment.
