EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme de la Carie' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse (c1797) is an exquisite example of 18th-century ethnographic art. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, part of the series 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' provides a fascinating glimpse into the traditional apparel of the 'Femme de la Carie,' or Woman of Caria, from Anatolia, a region in Asia Minor. The Woman is depicted in full length, wearing a vibrant green coat and jacket, adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery. She carries a large basket on her head, a common practice in rural areas, and holds a melon in her hands. The green color dominates the image, adding a sense of freshness and vitality. The 'Femme de la Carie' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East during the 18th century. The image was created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist, and LF Labrousse, an engraver. The series, 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' was produced to document and preserve the diverse clothing traditions of various countries and regions. This engraving, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a unique perspective on the fashion and customs of the Middle East during a time when European interest in the region was growing. The 'Femme de la Carie' is a captivating representation of the local people and their way of life, providing valuable insights into the history and anthropology of the Middle East.
