EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing by Louis Ducros, titled "Woman from Smyrna in traditional costume, seen by the travel group in Malta, 1778," is a captivating glimpse into the past. Ducros, a Swiss artist of the eighteenth century, created this full-length portrait while on a voyage to Italy, Sicily, and Malta, as documented in his album "Voyage en Italie en Sicile et à Malte." The woman in the drawing wears a traditional Turkish costume from Smyrna, now Izmir in modern-day Turkey. She stands confidently with one hand on her hip, her voluminous cloak draped elegantly over her shoulders. The intricate patterns and rich colors of her dress and cloak are rendered in exquisite detail, from the delicate floral motifs to the bold geometric designs. The drawing is executed in chalk on paper, with the artist's skillful use of shading and hatching to create depth and texture. The woman's posture and expression convey a sense of pride and dignity, reflecting the cultural heritage of the region. This drawing offers a fascinating window into the fashion and clothing of the time, as well as the experiences of European travelers in the Mediterranean during the Romantic era. It is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional costumes and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
