Man from Murcia, Spain – Hand-Coloured Lithograph by Markaert, c.1845
This hand-coloured lithograph depicts a man from Murcia in southeastern Spain, wearing regional dress with sash, vest, and headscarf. The pose suggests everyday rural life rather than ceremony.
Produced for Wahlen’s ethnographic series, the plate illustrates the diversity of Spanish regional costume during the 19th century. Markaert’s restrained composition and careful colouring emphasise texture and fabric.
