[Costumes - Scandinavia]. [Set of two drawings]. - Lot 85
[Costumes - Scandinavia]. [Set of two drawings]. [Unsigned, second half of the 18th century]. Two gouache drawings on laid paper in in-12 format (17.3 x 11 cm each), inscribed in brown ink at the bottom center (some foxing). A set of two ethnographic figures depicting a Norwegian and a Lapp in traditional costumes. The Lapp is depicted carrying fish and furs, evoking the fishing and hunting activities of the peoples of northern Scandinavia. Figures executed and colored by hand, titled “Norweger” and “Lappländer,” respectively, in the lower margins. Some of these drawings appeared in J. Ch. Adelung’s *Unterweisung in den vornehmsten Kunsten und Wissenschaften zum Nutzen des Schulen…* in 1785.
