EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Femme de Kamtschatka' from Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The intriguing image showcases a solitary Kamchatkan woman, dressed in traditional attire, standing outside against a backdrop of a rugged, rocky landscape. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a renowned French artist and publisher, is known for his extensive ethnographic work, which includes this collection of costumes from various countries. This particular print, featuring the woman from Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, showcases her unique and vibrant attire. The Kamchatkan woman is depicted wearing a full-length pink dress, adorned with intricate fringes and a bodice that is both colorful and ornate. Her head is covered by a large, hand-tinted headdress, which is adorned with roses and other decorative elements. The print is hand-colored and hand-tinted on paper, adding to its artistic value and historical significance. The location of the image is not explicitly stated, but the woman's traditional dress and the geographical feature in the background suggest that she hails from the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the people of Kamchatka and the ethnographic work of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. This historic artwork is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and serves as a reminder of the diverse and intriguing world that existed during the 18th century.
