Studienblatt_ Baschkiren mit ihren Pferden 

This study sheet by Gustav Heinrich Naeke, a German artist active in the early 19th century, features sketches of Bashkir people and their horses. The composition is a series of individual figures and details, illustrating Naeke's keen interest in capturing the unique features of these nomadic horsemen. The use of pencil creates a sense of immediacy and informality, suggesting these sketches were likely preparatory studies for a larger work. Naeke's detailed observations of dress, posture, and facial expressions demonstrate his meticulous approach to capturing the essence of his subjects, offering valuable insights into the life and culture of the Bashkir people.
