Vijf figuren in Oosterse kleding, mannen en vrouwen c. 1858 - 1859

Willem de Famars Testas’s “Vijf figuren in Oosterse kleding, mannen en vrouwen” is a pencil sketch depicting five figures in various poses, all wearing traditional Eastern clothing. Created sometime between 1858 and 1859, the drawing showcases the artist's keen observation of human form and his fascination with Eastern cultures. The loose, gestural lines of the sketch give the figures a sense of movement and life, hinting at a moment captured in time. The simple composition and delicate shading contribute to the overall sense of authenticity, making it a valuable study of Eastern attire for any art lover.
