EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," is a series of engravings created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur in the late 18th century. This particular image, titled "Paysanne de Quito," depicts an Ecuadorian farmer and her child in traditional attire. The scene is set outdoors, with the mother in the foreground wearing a long, green, hand-tinted cloak, a wide-brimmed hat adorned with flowers, and a simple white blouse. In her arms, she cradles a young boy, also dressed in green, with a short-sleeved shirt and a straw hat. Behind them, the landscape is dotted with farmhands and children, all engaged in agricultural work. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the ethnography and fashion of the time, offering a window into the clothing and customs of different continents. The meticulous attention to detail, evident in the intricate patterns and colors of the costumes, is a testament to Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's skill as an artist. The image also highlights the importance of agriculture and the role of the farmer in society, as well as the close bond between mother and child. This beautiful, full-length engraving on paper, with its rich, hand-tinted colors, is a valuable addition to any collection of historic art or ethnographic studies. The "Costumes de Différents Pays" series is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the 18th century, and this particular image, "Paysanne de Quito," offers a unique perspective on the agricultural laborers of Ecuador. Today, this work is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse world of the past.
