Beduinen

1830 · 1 picture

A hand-coloured plate from 1830, titled Beduinen, with German captions beneath three rows of identical figures. Its pictures are a plain, schematic costume study: rows of marching soldiers in blue cloaks, red trousers and tall helmets, each row repeated with small variations in pose and weapon, which suggests a designer could borrow the repeated-figure layout and flat palette for a uniform or military type sheet.
