or "Costumes of Different Countries," is a captivating full-length engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, created around 1797. This exquisite work of art showcases an Iroquois man in traditional Sauvage attire, offering a unique glimpse into the clothing and accessories of indigenous peoples of North America during the late 18th century. The image, hand-tinted on paper, presents the man in a profile view, standing outside against a natural background. He is dressed in a simple yet striking outfit, consisting of a short, fringed shirt, leggings, and moccasins. The man holds a club in one hand and an axe in the other, emphasizing his connection to the land and his resourcefulness. The Iroquois man's face is painted with intricate designs, adding to the overall allure of the piece. The engraving is part of a larger series, "Costumes de Differents Pays," which was published in France and aimed to document the diverse clothing and customs of various countries and cultures. This historic artwork, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serves as an essential ethnographic and anthropological resource, providing valuable insights into the lives and appearances of indigenous peoples during the 18th century. The meticulous detail and hand-coloring of the engraving further enhance its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. The Sauvage Iroquois image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Native American peoples and the European fascination with documenting and preserving the diverse customs and traditions of various communities around the world. This artwork continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of cultural preservation and understanding.
