About the Item

Lithograph realized by Raffet in 1841. Signed and dated in the plate. Image dimension: 24x32 cm. This fine lithograph by Auguste Raffet depicts a detailed village scene in the Caucasus region, specifically Dagestan. The composition presents a rustic dwelling with woven fences and drying laundry, surrounded by daily life: women with children in conversation, villagers working, and two figures harvesting or keeping watch from the rooftop. The architecture, rendered with precision, conveys both sturdiness and a sense of adaptation to mountainous terrain, visible in the background. Raffet captures a moment of calm in a humble community, balancing ethnographic observation with artistic sensibility. Raffet, celebrated for his lithographic work, was one of the most prolific and skilled chroniclers of the 19th century. A pupil of Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet, he became renowned for his military scenes and travel imagery, documenting with accuracy and vitality the landscapes and cultures he encountered. This work is part of his series of Caucasian views, created during the 1840s when interest in the Russian-Caucasian conflicts and exotic regional life fascinated European audiences. Some light foxing and age toning consistent with age; margins wide and well preserved.
