EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume plate, titled "Femme Kamls chadalle," is an exquisite example of ethnographic art from the late 18th to early 19th century, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. The plate depicts a Kamchadal woman, an indigenous people from the Siberian coast of Russia, dressed in her traditional attire. The full-length portrait showcases the woman standing outdoors, with a picturesque landscape serving as the backdrop. The Kamchadal woman wears a pink tunic, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, which is cinched at the waist with a belt. Over the tunic, she wears a long, flowing coat, also in pink, with wide sleeves and a fur collar. The woman completes her ensemble with a tall, conical hat, featuring a distinctive rose design. The plate is hand-colored, adding vibrant hues to the already stunning details of the costume. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse were renowned for their meticulous ethnographic work, documenting the diverse cultures and traditions of various peoples around the world. This plate, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to their dedication to preserving the rich heritage of the Kamchadal people and the beauty of their traditional clothing. The plate offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when such intricate and colorful costumes were an integral part of daily life. The combination of historical accuracy, artistic skill, and cultural significance makes this costume plate a must-see for anyone interested in anthropology, apparel, or the arts.
