Duverger After Auguste Wahlen, Bohemian Woman Near Prague, 1845, Hand-Coloured Lithograph On Paper

Chairish

$354

This elegant hand-coloured lithograph depicts a woman from the Prague region in Bohemia, dressed in traditional attire with distinctive regional detailing. Her dark cloak, red accents, and carefully arranged head covering reflect Central European folk costume of the early 19th century. Issued in Wahlen’s Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde, the image exemplifies the period’s ethnographic approach—combining visual accuracy with refined presentation. Duverger’s composition isolates the figure against a pale ground, giving the costume a sculptural clarity. The presence of a secondary figure in the background subtly reinforces the everyday social context without detracting from the main subject. Hand colouring enhances the contrast between fabrics and enriches the overall composition. CONDITION: Scattered light foxing; colours well preserved; margins intact. Technique: Hand-coloured lithograph Maker: Duverger after Auguste Wahlen, Brussels, c.1845
