Painting Description
"Nubian Women at Kortie on the Nile" is a 19th-century artwork by the Scottish painter David Roberts, who is renowned for his detailed lithographic prints and sketches documenting his travels in Egypt and the surrounding regions. This particular piece is part of a larger body of work published in the volume "Egypt and Nubia, Vol.1," which is one of the three volumes in Roberts' collection "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia."
Created during Roberts' journey to the region from 1838 to 1839, "Nubian Women at Kortie on the Nile" captures the daily life and environment of Nubian women in the town of Korti, situated along the Nile River. The artwork is significant for its ethnographic and topographic detail, offering a glimpse into the attire, activities, and setting of Nubian society in the mid-19th century.
Roberts' work was groundbreaking for its time, as he was one of the first British artists to travel so extensively through Egypt and the Holy Land, sketching and painting the landscapes, architecture, and people he encountered. His images were later transferred to lithographs by the skilled engraver Louis Haghe, which allowed for the wide dissemination of Roberts' views to the European public, who were fascinated by the exoticism of the Orient.
The lithographs, including "Nubian Women at Kortie on the Nile," were highly influential in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East and North Africa. They also hold historical value as some of the most accurate visual records of the region before the advent of photography. The series of prints were celebrated for their artistic quality and attention to detail, and they continue to be appreciated as an important part of the Orientalist art movement.
As an artwork, "Nubian Women at Kortie on the Nile" is not only a representation of Roberts' artistic skill but also a document of cultural and historical significance, providing insight into the life of Nubian women in 19th-century Egypt. The piece is a testament to the intersection of travel, art, and documentation during a period when the Western world was increasingly interested in the lands beyond its borders.
