EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lithograph by Denis Auguste Marie Raffet captures a group of Tartar women and children gathered at the Baïdar Gate in Crimea on August 26, 1837. The women, dressed in traditional clothing including burkhas or bourkhas, exhibit a sense of curiosity and inquisitiveness as they look directly at the viewer. The scene takes place at the entrance to the city, with the gateway and the rolling hills of the Crimean landscape in the background. Raffet, a French artist, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East, documenting the people and places he encountered. This print, created in 1842, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Crimean region and the diverse population that inhabited it during the 19th century. The women's clothing, with its voluminous folds and intricate patterns, is a striking contrast to the simple, grayish ivory background. The direct gaze of the women adds a sense of intimacy and connection to the image, inviting the viewer to explore the complexities of their lives and the world around them. The use of lithography, a printing technique that allows for intricate detail and tonal range, enhances the overall effect of the print and adds to its historical significance. This work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century art, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Crimean people.
