Acht studies van Egyptenaren c. 1858 - 1859

This drawing, created by Willem de Famars Testas around 1858, captures the artist's observations of Egyptian life. The eight studies showcase various figures, ranging from a standing youth to men engaged in everyday activities, including smoking tobacco and crafting. De Famars Testas's pencil and wash drawing conveys a sense of realism and captures the details of clothing and postures common to Egyptians in the mid-19th century.
