EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Marchand d'Orange de Murcie' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (1797) is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the diverse costumes and occupations of the 18th century. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, created by the French artist Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, depicts a man from Murcia, Spain, dressed in traditional attire as an orange seller. The full-length portrait shows the man standing outside, surrounded by oranges and mules laden with the fruit. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, known as a bicorne, and a long, flowing cloak. A gun is slung over his shoulder, suggesting that he may also be involved in horseback riding or hunting. The man's attire is richly detailed, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect the unique cultural heritage of Murcia. This engraving is part of Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's larger series, 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' which aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing of various European countries and continents. The series was groundbreaking for its time, as ethnography and anthropology were just beginning to emerge as academic disciplines. Today, this work remains an important historical and artistic record of the diverse and fascinating world of the 18th century. This beautiful and intriguing image is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe and beyond.
