EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Quechua women of Peru, 16th century" takes us back in time to the vibrant culture and rich history of South America. Created by Christoph Krieger in the late 16th century, this print showcases the traditional costumes worn by Quechua women during that era. In the image, we see two Quechua women engaged in their daily activities. The woman on the left is skillfully spinning yarn with a spindle while dressed in a striped cotton dress and wide belt. On the right, another woman wears a cloak fastened with a brooch at her chest. Both outfits are beautifully depicted with intricate details. The engraving is part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" which aimed to document historical attire from around the world. Engraved by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after Krieger's woodcut, this piece exemplifies both artistic talent and cultural preservation. Through this artwork, we gain insight into Peruvian society during the 16th century and appreciate the importance placed on traditional clothing among Quechua women. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and honors these remarkable individuals who have contributed to shaping our world today. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home a piece of history while celebrating diversity and cultural heritage through art.
