EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Marchande d'Orange de Murcie' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century European ethnography and fashion. The captivating image features a female fruit seller from Murcia, Spain, dressed in traditional attire, with a basket of oranges balanced on her head. The full-length engraving showcases the seller's intricately designed costume, which includes a long, flowing dress adorned with delicate floral patterns, an apron, and a pair of clogs. Her feet are encased in carriage boots, a common footwear choice during this era. The seller's head is adorned with a large, colorful scarf, and she wears a pink shawl draped over her shoulders. The setting of the image is outdoors, with the seller standing beside a cart, suggesting that she is ready to sell her wares to passing customers. She looks away from the viewer, lost in thought or perhaps engaged in conversation with someone off-frame. The intricate details of her costume, the vibrant colors, and the authenticity of the scene make this engraving a valuable addition to any collection of historic art, anthropology, or fashion. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse's 'Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Marchande d'Orange de Murcie' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century and offers a unique perspective on the diverse clothing styles and occupations of the time. This beautiful hand-tinted engraving is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and art of the past.
