EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Fille Taïtienne Portant des Présents au Roi' (A Tahitian Girl Presenting Gifts to the King), created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse in 1797, is a captivating and historically significant work of art that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Otaheite Windward Islands in French Polynesia during the late 18th century. The full-length engraving on paper, hand-colored and hand-tinted, depicts a barefoot Tahitian woman, dressed in traditional clothing, carrying gifts to present to the king. The woman's body is adorned with intricate decorations and patterns, reflecting the unique and vibrant culture of her island home. Her clothing, made of colorful fabric, is both functional and decorative, revealing the skill and creativity of the local people. The exterior setting of the image further emphasizes the exotic and unfamiliar environment of the South Pacific, with the lush greenery and tropical landscape providing a stark contrast to the European courtly scene. The image is a testament to the ethnographic and ethnological interests of the time, as European explorers and scholars sought to document and understand the diverse cultures and peoples of the world. This beautiful and intricately detailed work of art, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a valuable addition to the heritage of world art and a reminder of the rich cultural exchange that took place between different parts of the world during the late 18th century.
