EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Mongolian Fight, 1813" is a true masterpiece by the talented artist E Scotnikoff. Housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant world of Mongolian culture during the 19th century. The artwork depicts an intense wrestling match taking place within a traditional Mongolian camp. The vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail bring to life the energy and excitement of this ancient sport. Men, women, and children gather around to witness this thrilling spectacle while horses graze peacefully nearby. Intriguingly, amidst all the action stands a strong female wrestler engaged in combat with her male counterpart. This portrayal challenges gender norms and highlights the equality that existed within Mongolian society at that time. The tented encampment showcases elements of nomadic life prevalent in Mongolia's vast countryside. It serves as a reminder of their deep connection with nature and their reliance on animals for survival. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to an era where strength, skill, and camaraderie were celebrated through physical contests like wrestling. Through Scotnikoff's lithograph captures not only a historical moment but also embodies the spirit of resilience and unity found within Mongolian culture.
