Es war eine Momentphotographie, Elsa war nach einem Wirbeltanz aufgenommen, wie sie ihn in dem Weinlokal gern tanzte, ihr Rock flog noch im Faltenwurf der Drehung um sie her, die Hände hatte sie auf die festen Hüften gelegt und sah mit straffem Hals lachend zur Seite; wem ihr Lachen galt, konnte man aus dem Bild nicht erkennen.
The photograph was not one that had been taken while Elsa was posing for it, it showed her just after she had been in a wild dance such as she liked to do in wine bars, her skirt was still flung out as she span round, she had placed her hands on her firm hips and, with her neck held taut, looked to one side with a laugh; you could not see from the picture whom her laugh was intended for.
