EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme de Murcie' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an exquisite and intriguing work of art from the late 18th century. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, part of the Costumes de Differents Pays series, showcases the traditional attire of a woman from Murcia, a region in southeastern Spain. The image captures the woman standing outside, surrounded by the natural beauty of her surroundings. She is dressed in a vibrant, floral-patterned dress, adorned with a red apron, and holds a woven basket filled with game birds. The birds, likely a symbol of wealth and prosperity, add a dynamic element to the composition. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, the French creator of this masterpiece, meticulously captured the essence of the Murcian woman's costume, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 1790s. The engraving, published in Paris, is a testament to the ethnographic and ethnological interests of the time, showcasing the diverse clothing styles of different continents. This full-length portrait, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a stunning example of historical fashion and the art of the 18th century. The hand-coloured details add depth and dimension to the image, making it a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue and inspire viewers today.
