EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Indienne du Coromandel' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, capturing the vibrant and intricate attire of an Indian woman from the Coromandel Coast in Andhra Pradesh, India. The eighteenth-century artwork showcases the rich cultural heritage of Hindostan, with the woman adorned in a full-length, colorful sari, accessorized with a hand bell and a hand fan. She leans on an elbow, looking away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery and allure. The exterior setting of the engraving transports us to a tropical location, with palm trees and nature in the background, further emphasizing the exoticism of the Indian subcontinent. The detailed and meticulously hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the artistic skill of the creators, Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This historic piece, titled 'Indienne du Coromandel,' is a significant contribution to the ethnographic record of the 18th century, providing a glimpse into the clothing and fashion of local people in different parts of the world. The Costumes de Différents Pays series, which includes this engraving, was a popular publication during the late 18th century in France, showcasing the diverse costumes and traditions of various countries. Today, this artwork is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, preserving the legacy of this fascinating piece of anthropological and artistic history.
