EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme de Salamanque' (Woman of Salamanca), c1797, is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. This full-length portrait showcases a European woman adorned in the traditional attire of Salamanca, a city located in the Castilla y León region of Spain. The vibrant, hand-colored image, published in Paris during the late 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of Europe and its connections to other continents. The woman is depicted outdoors, standing against a lush, natural backdrop, surrounded by flowers and plants. She wears a long, red dress with an intricately patterned apron, a traditional accessory in Salamanca. Her hat, adorned with flowers, completes the ensemble. The use of color and fabric adds depth and texture to the image, transporting us back in time to the historic era of the 1790s. This ethnographic artwork, which is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the importance of recording and preserving the diverse clothing traditions of different countries and peoples. The 'Femme de Salamanque' not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of Spanish fashion but also serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of European and global cultures during this period. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series, which includes depictions of people from various countries, was groundbreaking in its time for its anthropological and ethnological significance. This particular image, with its stunning attention to detail and vivid colors, continues to captivate and inspire appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the past.
