EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Servantes et Bonze Mendiant Chinois' (Costumes of Different Countries, 'Servants and Begging Monk Chinese', c1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This image, created during the late 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of anthropology and ethnography, showcasing the diverse apparel and customs of different countries, with a particular focus on China. The engraving depicts two figures: a Chinese servant, dressed in a vibrant blue coat with a distinctive high collar, and a mendicant monk, clad in traditional robes and carrying a begging bowl. The intricate details of their costumes are beautifully rendered, from the intricate patterns on the servant's coat to the monk's shaved head and simple sandals. The scene is set outdoors, with the figures standing against an exterior backdrop, adding to the sense of authenticity and historical accuracy. The use of hand coloring and hand tinting further enhances the visual appeal of the print, bringing the figures and their clothing to life in a rich and vivid way. This full-length portrait offers a unique window into the world of 18th-century fashion and the ways in which people from different continents and occupations were depicted in art during this period. The figures, with their distinct hairstyles and clothing, provide a fascinating insight into the cultural differences that existed at the time, making this engraving an invaluable addition to any collection of historic art or ethnographic studies. This stunning print, by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, is now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intricate details and historical significance.
