Fedor Iwanowitsch, Kalmyk, a Self Portrait in Stone Lithography
About the Item
An early folio stone lithograph portrait of Fedor Iwanowitsch (1765-1832); head and shoulders turned three-quarters to the left. He has a moustache with a slight beard, and wears a fur-trimmed cap.
Lithograph atttributed to the famed lithographer, Carl Joseph Brodtmann. Fine hand color.
Feodor Iwanowitsch Kalmück, as he came to be styled (under various spellings), was born in the Russian Caucasus, in what is now the Republic of Kalmykia. His people, the Kalmyk, were Mongols who had migrated in 1607 from what is now mostly Xinjiang province in Western China. Tsarist oppression during the eighteenth century led to an attempt to return east in 1771, but many Kalmyk were unable to escape and were killed or enslaved by the forces of Catherine the Great. The inscription on the print records that Feodor was given as a slave by Louise of Baden, consort of the Russian Emperor Alexander I, to her mother, Princess Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt (wife of Charles Louis, Hereditary Prince of Baden), and that his artistic skills led to his liberty.
Having studied in Italy, Feodor entered the service of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, and travelled with him on his embassy to Ottoman Turkey in 1799–1803 (during which the ‘Elgin Marbles’ were removed from the frieze and pediment of the Parthenon); in the British Museum is an album of 80 drawings by Feodor compiled on this journey, illustrating these sculptures and others in Greece. On his return to Western Europe, Feodor settled in Karlsruhe as a painter, draughtsman and printmaker. This delicately lithographed self-portrait shows that, in addition to his mastery of the medium, his 'exotic' origins were being marketed to his potential patrons.
