Russians and Turks

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three seated figures in historical or exotic attire, with additional background figures. The three figures are detailed with fine line work, each wearing distinct garments. One figure wears a hooded cloak, another has a cap and robe. There is a basket with birds or ducks near the first figure. In the background, smaller figures in robes can be seen. The drawing features shading and a carefully composed scene that suggests a cultural and historical setting.
