Attributed to Elsa Niemeyer-Moxter, German, fl. early 20th century- Dance of the Seven Veils; oil on canvas, indistinctly signed 'Els... Mo..ter [?]' lower right, feigned tondo, 103 x104 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Elsa Moxter, also known as Elsa Niemeyer-Moxter, was a designer and illustrator who is recorded in Munich during the first half of the 20th century. She is referred to in art journals of the time as a designer of cabinet figurines, or “Vitrinenpuppen”, and as an illustrator, including for Jugend, a Munich-based art magazine. Her illustrations provide witty and acutely observed glimpses into turn-of-the-century city life, and several examples are held in the collection of the Lenbachhaus, Munich. The artist’s affinity with graphic design and illustration is apparent in the present painting, with its strikingly stylised central figure and bold application of colour. Niemeyer-Moxter also appears to have been influenced by the works of other artists active in Munich at the same time, including Adolf Münzer (c.1870-1953) and Reinhold Max Eichler (1872-1947), both of whom are known to have supplied illustrations for Jugend magazine. The painting depicts the Biblical figure of Salome dancing, captured in the midst of her performance before King Herod. While it is not given a name in the Bible, Salome's dance became popularly referred to as the 'Dance of the Seven Veils' during the late 19th century in arts and literature, reputedly after Oscar Wilde first used the title in his 1893 play 'Salome'.
