EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Metive de Quito' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse that offers a captivating glimpse into the diverse and richly colored world of indigenous costume in Quito, Ecuador during the late 18th century. This stunning full-length portrait depicts a Mestizo woman, a person of mixed European and indigenous heritage, standing proudly outdoors against a lush, green backdrop. She is dressed in the traditional attire of her region, which includes a pink, hand-woven blouse, a voluminous, layered skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with intricate floral designs. The woman's bare feet, which are painted in earthy tones, are bare, emphasizing her connection to the land. This engraving, titled 'Metive de Quito,' is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which was published in France during the 1790s. The series aimed to document and preserve the unique clothing and customs of various countries and ethnicities, making it an important contribution to the fields of ethnography and ethnology. This particular image offers a vivid representation of the vibrant and diverse indigenous culture of Quito, located in the Pichincha Sierra of Ecuador. The hand-colored engraving, which is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural sensitivity of its creators, Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. The intricate details of the woman's costume, the rich colors, and the naturalistic setting all combine to create a powerful and evocative image that transports us to a different time and place, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire us today.
