EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Differents Pays, Kandaharien Sujet Persan' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image showcases an Afghan man from Kandahar, located in present-day Afghanistan, dressed in traditional Persian attire. The man is depicted in a full-length pose, standing outdoors with a serene expression on his face, looking away from the viewer. He wears a gilet, a type of waistcoat, over a long, beige tunic, which is hand-tinted with intricate patterns and colors, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The man's bare feet are visible, adding to the authenticity of the scene. His long, flowing beard and facial hair are meticulously detailed, highlighting the traditional Afghan masculine appearance of the time. This engraving, part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, is a testament to the ethnographic and anthropological interest in exotic cultures that was prevalent during the 18th century in Europe. The image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of historic art and provides a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and fashion of Asia during the late 18th century.
