[Russia]. - Lot 116
[Russia]. [Costumes—Siberia]. [Set of two drawings]. [Undated, 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 Samoyed and a Siberian Bukhar in traditional costumes. The Samoyed is depicted with a bow and a quiver. The figures are hand-drawn and hand-colored, titled “Samojeden” and “Sibirischer Buchar,” respectively, in the lower margins. The term “Siberian Bukhars” referred to Muslim populations originating from Central Asia, who were particularly active in trade and settled in Western Siberia. Some of these drawings appeared in J. Ch. Adelung’s *Unterweisung in den vornehmsten Kunsten und Wissenschaften zum Nutzen des Schulen…* in 1785.
