EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Armenienne en Habit de Cérémonie" (Armenian Woman in Ceremonial Dress) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The intricately detailed engraving showcases an Armenian woman adorned in her ceremonial attire, standing proudly outdoors against a lush, green backdrop. The vibrant, hand-tinted colors of her costume, predominantly green and pink, add depth and richness to the image. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur was a renowned French artist and ethnographer, known for his extensive work on Costumes de Differents Pays (Costumes of Different Countries). This series aimed to document and preserve the diverse apparel of various ethnicities and continents, including Asia. The Armenian woman is depicted wearing a voluminous, full-length dress, adorned with intricate floral patterns and a striking headdress. The headdress, featuring a tall, conical shape with delicate pink and green roses, adds a regal touch to her appearance. The woman's posture and expression exude a sense of pride and dignity, reflecting the significance of her ceremonial attire. This historic piece, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Armenian people and the artistic prowess of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. The print serves as a valuable resource for scholars of anthropology, ethnology, and fashion, offering a glimpse into the past and preserving the traditions of a unique and fascinating culture.
