EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Récréation des Jeunes Russiennes sur la Glace' (Divers Costumes, 'Recreation of Young Russian Women on the Ice'), created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse around 1797, is a captivating and intriguing work of art that offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and everyday life. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in France, depicts four individuals - two boys and two girls - engaging in a winter pastime, skating on the icy surface of a frozen river or lake. The vibrant colors and detailed clothing designs showcase the diverse costumes of different regions, from the ornate and fur-trimmed coats of the Russian girls to the simpler, yet elegant, capes and dresses of their French counterparts. The image is set against a backdrop of picturesque houses and buildings, suggesting a rural or suburban location. The boys, dressed in simple coats and hats, hold onto a sled or a makeshift transportation device, while the girls, with their hands gracefully positioned, glide effortlessly on the ice. The use of hand coloring and tinting adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This engraving, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and the history of fashion. It provides a unique insight into the clothing styles and cultural practices of the 18th century, offering a window into the past that continues to inspire and fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
