Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Indous' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing an Indo man in traditional attire. This beautiful piece, created in the late 18th century, is a testament to the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Asia. The man, dressed in a vibrant, full-length costume, wears a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns and a sash tied around his waist. He dons a tall, conical headdress adorned with various ornaments, adding to his regal appearance. The man's feet are covered in high, carriage boots with distinctive blades, a common footwear style in the region during that period. The engraving, titled 'Indous,' is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing and customs of various countries and continents. This particular piece highlights the unique and intriguing aspects of the Indian subcontinent, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the people during that time. The image, hand-colored and meticulously detailed, captures the essence of the subject's character and the exotic allure of the Indo region. The man's calm expression and the serene outdoor setting add to the overall sense of tranquility and beauty. The engraving is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal. This stunning piece, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, is an essential addition to any collection focused on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion and clothing.
