In this painting, Willy Sluiter gives a wonderful depiction of the atmosphere in the most well-known hotel of Europe in the roaring twenties: Hotel Adlon in Berlin. The energetic painting shows a couple dancing wildly, probably the Charleston, the most popular dance of that time. Willy Sluiter was not just a talented painter who had become famous for his landscapes, beachscapes and portraits, but he also liked to depict the people and life around him in humorous sketches and water colours.
