EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Frontispice de l'Asie' (1797) is an exquisite and intriguing hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This work of art, created in the late 18th century, showcases a beautifully dressed woman, seated in a richly furnished room, adorned in various Asian costumes. The woman, with a serene expression, looks away from the viewer, her gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The engraving, published in Paris, is a visual representation of ethnographic exploration and the fascination with the exotic during the Age of Discovery. The vibrant green color dominates the image, from the lush curtains and cushions to the intricate headdresses and plumed accessories worn by the woman. Each costume, meticulously detailed, reveals the unique cultural heritage of different Asian countries. The chair, with its ornate design, adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The woman's graceful posture and the delicate drapes that flow around her create a harmonious balance between the European and Asian elements in the image. This full-length portrait, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich history of anthropology, fashion, and art. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, with its intricate lettering, is a visual feast for the eyes and a reminder of the enduring allure of the exotic in European art and literature.
