The full-length image, dated back to the late 18th century, depicts six women, each dressed in unique and vibrant costumes, reflecting the rich ethnic diversity and cultural heritage of Russia. The women are depicted in various poses, some speaking and engaging with one another, while others are shown in a more contemplative or working stance. The backdrop is an outdoor setting, with a lush green landscape and trees providing a picturesque backdrop. Each woman's attire is meticulously detailed, with colorful fabrics, intricate patterns, and fur trimmings adorning their dresses, capes, and headdresses. The women's headgear ranges from simple headscarves to ornate headdresses, adding to the overall visual interest of the image. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Artisanes de Russie', was published in France during the 1790s and is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The piece is a valuable contribution to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and ethnology, providing a glimpse into the clothing and customs of Russia during this time period. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic skill of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, who expertly captured the essence of these Russian artisans and their traditional costumes. The image remains a fascinating and visually stunning representation of the past, offering a glimpse into a world that is both foreign and yet strangely familiar.
