Studies van Algerijnen 1876 - 1915

"Studies van Algerijnen" (Studies of Algerians) is a series of figure studies by Ferdinand Hart Nibbrig, created between 1876 and 1915. The pencil drawings capture the various postures and clothing styles of Algerian people. Executed in a quick and gestural style, these studies demonstrate Nibbrig’s talent for capturing the essence of his subjects, even in quick sketches. The artwork provides a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and his fascination with the people and culture of Algeria.
