Painting Description
"A Nubian and a Fellah Carrying a Dromedary Saddlebag" is a notable illustration from "The Valley of the Nile," engraved by Eugène Le Roux (1807-1863) and published by Lemercier in 1848. This work is part of a larger collection by Émile Prisse d'Avennes, a French Orientalist, architect, and historian, renowned for his detailed studies and illustrations of Egypt and the Near East. Prisse d'Avennes' extensive travels in Egypt, from 1827 to 1844, allowed him to amass a wealth of knowledge and material, culminating in the publication of works that offered Western audiences a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage and architectural marvels.
The illustration captures a moment of everyday life, depicting a Nubian and a Fellah (Egyptian peasant) carrying a dromedary saddlebag, showcasing the intricate details of their attire, the saddlebag, and the surrounding environment. This piece is exemplary of Prisse d'Avennes' approach to Orientalist art, characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to portraying his subjects with accuracy and respect. The work serves not only as an artistic representation but also as an ethnographic record, reflecting the customs, clothing, and daily activities of the people of the Nile Valley in the mid-19th century.
Published by Lemercier, a leading lithography company in Paris, the illustration benefits from the high-quality printing techniques of the time, which allowed for the precise reproduction of Prisse d'Avennes' drawings. Eugène Le Roux's engraving skills further enhanced the visual impact of the illustration, ensuring that the fine details of the original artwork were preserved.
"A Nubian and a Fellah Carrying a Dromedary Saddlebag" is a significant contribution to the field of Orientalist art, offering insights into the cultural and social dynamics of Egypt during a period of great interest to European audiences. It remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of 19th-century art, Egyptian history, and ethnography.
