EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femmes Turques' (1797) is a captivating and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length, hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in Paris during the late 18th century, showcases the traditional attire of women from Turkey. The image, which is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and customs of the Middle East during this period. The 'Femmes Turques' are depicted in a serene outdoor setting, with one woman seated and another standing. Both are dressed in voluminous, richly colored garments. The seated woman wears a long, blue robe with intricate floral patterns, adorned with a maroon hijab that covers her head and chest. Her companion, standing behind her, wears a similar robe in a deep, red hue, with a matching hejab. The women's clothing is both elegant and practical, reflecting the cultural traditions of the region. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), was part of a larger series that aimed to document the diverse clothing styles of various nations. The series was published during a time when European interest in ethnography and ethnology was growing, and such depictions of 'exotic' peoples and their customs were popular. Today, this historic artwork serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East and the significance of clothing as a reflection of identity and tradition. The 'Femmes Turques' continue to captivate viewers with their beauty, grace, and the insight they provide into the past.
