EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," is an engravings series created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse in the late 18th century. This particular print, titled "Indienne de Quito," showcases the traditional attire of an Ecuadorian woman from Quito, the capital city of Pichincha province located in the Sierra region. The full-length portrait depicts a woman standing outdoors, likely by the roadside, wearing a vibrant and intricately patterned costume. The dress is adorned with geometric patterns in red, blue, and yellow, with a fitted bodice and a voluminous petticoat. The woman wears a matching shawl draped over her shoulders, and her hair is styled in long, loose curls. In her hands, she holds a basket filled with colorful fruits, adding to the lively and exotic scene. The print, which is hand-tinted and hand-colored on paper, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ecuador during the 18th century. The series, "Costumes de Différents Pays," was published in France and is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The print provides a valuable insight into the clothing styles and traditions of different countries and peoples during this period, making it an important piece of ethnographic and historical significance. The "Indienne de Quito" print is a stunning representation of the diversity and beauty of the world's various cultures and costumes, showcasing the artistry and attention to detail of Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse. The image invites us to explore the history and traditions of different peoples and to appreciate the unique beauty of their cultural expressions.
