[Russia]. [Costumes]. [Russian Empire—Set of Four Drawings]. [Undated, second half of the 18th century]. Four gouache drawings on laid paper in in-12 format (17.3 x 11 cm each), captioned in brown ink at the bottom center (some foxing). A set of four ethnographic figures depicting a Kalmyk, a resident of Novaya Zemlya, a Yakut, and a Bashkir, shown in traditional dress and carrying various weapons, including a bow, a saber, a spear, and an axe. The figures are hand-drawn and hand-colored, with the titles “Kalmucke,” “Zemblaner,” “Jakut,” and “Baschkir” written 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.
