EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Costumes of Different Countries," is a series of engravings produced by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse in the late 18th century. This particular print, titled "Femme de l'Arabie Heureuse," or "Woman from the Happy Arabia," showcases the traditional attire of a Middle Eastern woman. The image captures the woman in a full-length portrait, standing outside in a desert landscape. She is dressed in a long, flowing robe of green color, adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery. A veil covers her head, held in place by a wide, decorative headband. In her right hand, she holds a small basket filled with barley or cereal grains, a common staple in Middle Eastern diets. The print is a hand-tinted engraving on paper, adding depth and vibrancy to the image. The woman's expression is serene, her gaze directed away from the viewer, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue. The background features a barren desert landscape, with rolling sand dunes and a few sparse trees. This print is an important historical and ethnographic record of the traditional clothing and customs of the Middle East during the late 18th century. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and provides insight into the daily life and traditions of the people. Today, this print is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating world of global history and culture.
