Woman of Torna-Härad and Man of Järfsö, Scandinavia, Lithograph, ca.1845
This final plate presents two Scandinavian figures—a woman from Torna-Härad and a man from Järfsö—shown separately within the same composition. Their contrasting costumes highlight regional diversity within Scandinavia.
Published in Wahlen’s comprehensive costume survey, the image demonstrates the comparative approach typical of 19th-century ethnography. Markaert’s clean drawing and restrained hand colouring keep the focus on dress and form.
CONDITION:
Even toning with scattered foxing; margins good.
FRAMING TIPS:
Ideal in a neutral contemporary frame to emphasise clarity and contrast.
Technique: Hand-coloured lithograph
Maker: Markaert after Auguste Wahlen, Brussels, c.1845
