This reproduction presents a scene of Nubian life illustrating women carrying jars on the banks of the Nile. Taken from David Roberts' historical work, this lithograph documents the traditional hairstyles and ornaments of the Korti region. The perspective opens onto a landscape of mountains and a lake, offering a balanced chromatic study between the scorched earths and the bluish reflections of the water.
Drawn during Roberts' journey in 1838, this plate is part of a major ethnographic and geographic documentation approach. The panoramic composition and the precision of the line testify to the artist's iconographic rigor. This historical document illustrates the 19th-century interest in the cultures of Nubia, captured with a documentary aesthetic specific to scientific romanticism.
This documentary print is aimed at enthusiasts of history and distant travels. It can be observed as an ethnological testimony or used to enhance an interior with its vintage and scholarly character. This plate invites the contemplation of a bygone era and the age-old traditions of the Nile Valley.
