EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating full-length engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. This exquisite work of art, titled "Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse apparel and traditions of various regions during this era. The image features a solitary woman, identified as Persanne, standing outdoors and gesturing towards an unseen audience. She wears an intricately designed costume representing the Persian or Middle Eastern region. The green color dominates her attire, with a long, flowing coat adorned with gold accents and a headdress featuring a tall, conical turban. Her breeches, or britches, are also green, adding to the overall harmony of the ensemble. The hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the meticulous attention to detail, with every fold, pattern, and embellishment rendered with precision. The use of hand tinting further enhances the visual appeal, adding depth and texture to the image. Persanne's costume not only reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East but also serves as an essential ethnographic record of the time. This historic piece, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, offers a unique perspective on the fashion trends and societal norms of the 18th century. The image invites viewers to explore the world beyond their immediate surroundings, fostering a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the diverse people and cultures that existed during this period. Persanne's confident stance and captivating appearance serve as a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
