Russian Peasant Family, Government of Tver, Hand-Coloured Lithograph, 1845

This engaging lithograph shows a Russian peasant family from the Tver region, including a man, woman, and child. The grouping provides valuable insight into rural family life and dress in 19th-century Russia.

Published in Wahlen’s world costume series, the image combines ethnographic clarity with a gentle narrative tone. Markaert’s composition balances individual detail with group interaction, while hand colouring adds warmth and depth.

CONDITION: Light foxing and age toning; colours stable.

FRAMING TIPS: A traditional wood frame with a wide mat suits the narrative composition.

Technique: Hand-coloured lithograph Maker: Markaert after Auguste Wahlen, Brussels, c.1845
