EDITORS COMMENTS
La Vivandière à la Grecque," an exquisite etching by the renowned Italian artist Benigno Bossi, dates back to the 1770s and is a captivating representation of an American woman dressed in the fashion of the time. The full-length portrait depicts a woman in a flowing Greek-inspired dress, complete with intricate gold detailing and a delicate, diaphanous veil. She holds a broom in one hand, suggesting her role as a domestic, while a hare sits obediently at her feet. The setting is a rustic kitchen, where a stove and other household appliances are visible in the background. This image is believed to be a depiction of a "vivandière," a term used in masquerades of the time to describe a woman dressed as a country servant. The black and white contrast of the etching adds to its timeless and elegant appeal. This historic artwork, titled "Mascarade à la Grecque," is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of both Italian and American art and fashion from the eighteenth century.
