Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme de la Suite du Roï de Loango' (1797) is an exquisite and intriguing work of art by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length engraving, hand-tinted on paper, provides a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Loango people in Africa during the 18th century. The 'Femme de la Suite du Roï de Loango' (Woman of the Suite of the King of Loango) is depicted in traditional attire, adorned with a striking blue and white headdress, a basket on her head, and a colorful, flowing dress. Her bare feet, adorned with intricate designs, are barefoot, reflecting the local custom. The woman is shown in an exterior setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and exotic fruits, further emphasizing the connection to her African homeland. This engraving, part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, is a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology. It offers a unique perspective on the fashion and customs of the Loango people during this time, providing valuable insights into their culture and history. The work is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural sensitivity of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on historic costume, African art, or the art of the 18th century. The 'Femme de la Suite du Roï de Loango' is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating world of global history and culture.
