EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume plate, titled "Femme de Katchin," is an exquisite example of 18th-century ethnographic art from Burma, now Myanmar. Created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, this hand-colored engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the traditional attire of the Kachin people during the late 18th to early 19th century. The plate showcases a full-length portrait of a Kachin woman, dressed in an elegant and intricately patterned costume. She wears a long, flowing coat, adorned with geometric patterns and vibrant colors, which is cinched at the waist with a wide belt. The coat is paired with a colorful, patterned dress, and she wears a tall, conical hat, also decorated with intricate designs. The exterior scene depicted in the background further enhances the authenticity of the image, as the woman is shown in her natural environment, surrounded by lush vegetation and the beauty of the Burmese landscape. The meticulous attention to detail in the clothing, the rich colors, and the stunning design elements all contribute to the timeless allure of this historic artwork. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse were renowned French ethnographers and artists, who dedicated their careers to documenting the diverse cultures and traditions of various continents, including Asia. This stunning costume plate, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to their dedication and their significant contributions to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and the arts.
