Nineteenth-century sculptor Giovanni Maria Benzoni was the creator of the famed 'Veiled Rebecca' -- reason on its own to visit Hyderabad where the original is displayed -- and of this delightfully dancing pair, completed in 1870.
Compare the loose-limbed hold of the dancing male on his partner with the more demanding grasp of Bernini's Pluto.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
