EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Interior of a Kalmuk Yurt, 1812-13" offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the Kalmuk people in early 19th century Russia. The artist, E. Karnejeff, skillfully captures the essence of this Asian culture through his detailed depiction of their traditional dwelling. Within the yurt's circular walls, we find ourselves immersed in an intimate scene. A group of figures is gathered around a campfire at the center, their faces illuminated by its warm glow. The artist masterfully portrays their attire and features with great precision, showcasing the diversity within this community. The yurt itself is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect Kalmuk aesthetics. Its oculus allows natural light to filter through while also serving as an escape for smoke from the fire below. This ingenious design element adds both functionality and beauty to their living space. As our eyes wander across this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history – one that encapsulates not only the physical aspects but also the cultural richness and sense of belonging within these nomadic tribes. "Interior of a Kalmuk Yurt" serves as an invaluable visual record preserved within private collections today. It was originally published as part of Charles de Rechberg's comprehensive work on Russian peoples' customs and costumes during his time in Paris between 1812-13.
