EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor drawing, titled "Traditional Costumes of the Island of Gozo, 1778," is an exquisite work of art by the renowned Dutch artist Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros. Ducros meticulously captured the authenticity of the Maltese people's national costumes, as depicted in this image from his album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." The drawing showcases several Maltese men, dressed in their traditional attire, standing in a group against a backdrop of a picturesque Gozitan landscape. The men are barefoot, their feet resting on a woven basket, adding to the rustic charm of the image. Their clothing consists of simple, yet elegant, garments, including a short-sleeved shirt, loose trousers, and a sash tied around the waist. The vibrant colors of their costumes, with hues of red, blue, and green, stand out against the muted tones of the background. Ducros' masterful use of chalk and watercolor paint brings the traditional Maltese costumes to life, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the island of Gozo during the 18th century. The artist's attention to detail, from the intricate patterns on the men's clothing to the subtle textures of their bare feet, adds depth and authenticity to the image. This drawing is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, showcasing the traditional dress of the Maltese people during a time when European fashion was undergoing significant changes. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is fortunate to house this precious work, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
