This full-length portrait depicts a Mesoamerican warrior, dressed in traditional attire, standing confidently outdoors with one arm raised and the other at his side. The intricately detailed hand-tinted engraving on paper showcases the vibrant colors and textures of the warrior's clothing, including a cloak adorned with intricate patterns and a pair of high, laced carriage boots. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist, ethnographer, and publisher, is known for his extensive work documenting the costumes and customs of various countries. This particular engraving is a testament to his dedication to preserving the rich cultural heritage of ancient Mexico. The warrior's posture and hand gesture convey a sense of strength and pride, adding to the overall impact of the image. This historic artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a unique glimpse into the fashion and traditions of Mesoamerican cultures during the 18th century. The hand-colored engraving is a valuable addition to any collection focused on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion.
