EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Espagnole de Quito' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an exquisite example of 18th-century ethnographic art. This hand-tinted engraving on paper depicts a full-length portrait of an Ecuadorian woman from Quito, Pichincha Sierra, dressed in traditional attire. The 'Espagnole de Quito' is a vibrant representation of the rich cultural heritage of South America. The woman wears a voluminous red dress adorned with intricate needlework and embroidery, reflecting the skill and artistry of the indigenous people. The dress is accessorized with a shawl, adding an extra layer of warmth and color. The exterior scene sets the costume in its natural context, with the woman depicted outdoors amidst lush greenery. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist, created this engraving as part of his series 'Costumes de Differents Pays.' The series aimed to document the diverse clothing styles of various countries and continents, making it an invaluable resource for anthropologists and ethnologists. This historic artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the world's various cultural traditions. The 'Espagnole de Quito' is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich and diverse heritage of humanity.
