About the Item

Lithograph on wove paper realized in 1842. Signed and dated in the plate. Image dimension: 34.5x24.5 A powerful composition by Auguste Raffet, depicting Circassian warriors and Cossacks in traditional armor and arms. At the center, a proud warrior stands front-facing, clad in chainmail with sword, dagger, and shield, evoking the martial traditions of the Caucasus. Behind him, other armed figures converse, their attire marked by tall papakhas and long tunics, while lances and rifles highlight their readiness for battle. Executed with Raffet’s distinctive precision and sensitivity to ethnographic detail, this lithograph belongs to the artist’s celebrated series of Eastern and Caucasian subjects, capturing both the grandeur and the authenticity of local costumes and traditions during his travels. Some light foxing in the margins consistent with age; image in very good condition with strong contrasts.
