EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme Tattare d'Astragan' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, c1797, is an intriguing and captivating engraving that offers a glimpse into the diverse world of 18th-century ethnographic exploration. The image depicts a Tatar woman from Astrakhan, a city located in southern Russia near the Caspian Sea. The woman is shown in full length, wearing traditional clothing that reflects her ethnic identity. Her dress is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, including a prominent green hue, which adds to the richness and depth of the image. The woman is depicted with her right arm raised and her left hand gesturing in a casual, open posture, as if inviting the viewer to engage with her. Her gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a certain degree of introspection or perhaps a reluctance to be fully exposed. The exterior setting of the image further emphasizes the sense of authenticity and the importance of capturing the essence of local cultures. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the work of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. Their collaborative project, 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' aimed to document the diverse clothing styles of various countries and peoples, and this image of the Tatar woman from Astrakhan is a prime example of their success in capturing the unique character and beauty of each subject. Today, this historic artwork is preserved and celebrated as an important piece of anthropological and artistic heritage. It is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural history of the past.
