EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 showcases the costume of a Tribunus plebis, an esteemed position in ancient Rome. The image, created by L. F. Labrousse under the guidance of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, offers a glimpse into the rich history and social structure of this iconic civilization. The Tribunus plebis is depicted wearing a vibrant crimson toga, symbolizing his authority and status. Accompanied by a tunic and sandals, he exudes power and elegance against the backdrop of a temple, column, and statues. This scene transports us back to the heart of ancient Rome. Labrousse's hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical attire. The meticulous craftsmanship brings life to each fold in the fabric and emphasizes its significance within Roman society. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded not only of the political importance held by individuals like the Tribunus plebis but also their role in maintaining justice for the population they served.

Through Labrousse's artistry, we are transported back centuries ago when Rome was at its height—a time when clothing played an integral role in defining one's social class and identity. This engraving provides us with valuable insights into ancient Roman culture while showcasing Labrousse's talent as an artist capturing history on paper.
