EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Iongleur Iroquois' or 'Iroquois Fiddler,' is a stunning example of ethnographic art from the late 18th century, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. The image, part of his comprehensive series 'Costumes de Differents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' showcases the intricate apparel and accessories of an Iroquois woman from North America. The woman is depicted in full length, seated outside, with a tent in the background, suggesting a nomadic lifestyle. She is dressed in a vibrant green cloak, adorned with geometric patterns and intricate beadwork, which is typical of Iroquois clothing. The cloak is fastened with a belt and a fringe of tassels hangs down from the hem. In her left hand, she holds a rattle, a traditional instrument used in various Native American rituals and ceremonies. The engraving is hand-tinted, adding depth and richness to the colors, particularly the green hue of the cloak. The image is a testament to the cultural diversity and artistic sophistication of the indigenous peoples of North America, as documented by the French ethnographer and artist, Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. This historic artwork, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a valuable resource for scholars of anthropology, ethnology, and fashion history, providing insights into the clothing and customs of the Iroquois people during the late 18th century. The image is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence contemporary fashion and art.
