It originates from 'Naturhistorische Bilder-Galerie' by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, published circa 1816. Brodtmann was a notable Swiss lithographer known for his ethnographic and zoological illustrations in the early 19th century. The print shows a dignified Arab man wearing an elaborate red outer robe over a floral patterned garment, complete with a sword at his side and a white turban wrapped around his head. His footwear appears to be traditional slippers. Beside him stands a woman dressed in a flowing white robe with a veil covering her head and shoulders, revealing lavender-pink trousers underneath. She carries a tall staff, suggesting status or a ceremonial role. Both figures are portrayed with strong outlines, careful shading, and vibrant hand colouring typical of Brodtmann’s lithographic work, enhancing the folds, texture, and embroidery of their garments. This lithograph is significant for its detailed depiction of ethnic costumes during a period when European interest in Near Eastern and North African cultures was rising. It offers historical insight into early 19th-century European perceptions of Arab dress and identity, and serves as a valuable document for costume historians, ethnographers, and collectors of orientalist works. Condition: Very good for its age. Light toning and minimal edge wear. The colours remain vivid, and the paper shows no major tears or stains. Tips for framing: Ideal presentation would be in a slim gold or dark wood frame with a neutral cream or light beige mount to highlight the fine hand colouring and give it an elegant antique feel. Suitable for libraries, studies, hallways, or spaces with orientalist decor themes. See less
