Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de l'Entrée du Prince Guillaume' (c1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length portrait depicts a native Alaskan man, standing confidently with one hand on his hip, dressed in traditional attire. The man wears a blue parka-like cape, adorned with fur trim and intricate designs, and a green hat with a distinctive shape. His clothing is a vibrant contrast against the exterior background, which suggests a snowy landscape. This engraving is a significant piece of ethnographic art from the 18th century, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Alaskan people during the 1790s. The title 'Costumes de Différents Pays' translates to 'Costumes of Different Countries,' reflecting the global interest in documenting diverse clothing and customs during this period. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse were renowned French artists who collaborated on numerous projects, including this series of hand-colored engravings. Their meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the man's clothing, as well as the subtle shading and coloring that brings the image to life. This historic artwork is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection, serving as an essential reminder of the fascinating history and diversity of global fashion and culture.
