EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Vieille Femme, de la Russie. Jeune Paysanne' (Old Woman from Russia. Young Peasant Woman), is a striking example of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, created in the late 18th century. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French ethnographer and artist, meticulously documented traditional costumes from various countries, providing a valuable record of historical clothing and cultural heritage. In this image, an elderly Russian woman is depicted in full length, standing outside against an unspecified backdrop. She wears a voluminous, fur-lined cloak, its rich, earthy tones contrasting with the vibrant red of her headscarf and the deep blue of her jacket. The woman's headdress, adorned with intricate patterns and a series of small bells, adds a touch of elegance and tradition to her appearance. The young peasant woman, also shown in the image, wears a simple, yet practical dress, with a hand-tinted apron and a coat, both in muted earth tones. The contrast between the two women highlights the differences in age and social status, while also emphasizing the unique and diverse nature of Russian traditional clothing. This hand-coloured engraving, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of 18th-century Russia and the importance of documenting and preserving traditional costumes for future generations. The intricate details and authentic portrayal of the subjects make this piece a valuable addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion.
