EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Musulmanes Fesant la Prière' (Different Costumes of Muslims in Prayer), created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse around 1797, is a captivating and historically significant engraving that offers a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of the 18th century. The image depicts a group of Muslim women in various stages of prayer, each dressed in traditional clothing, adding vibrant colors and intricate patterns to the outdoor setting. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse, two prominent French artists of the time, collaborated on this ethnographic project to document the costumes and customs of different countries and communities. This particular print, 'Musulmanes Fesant la Prière,' showcases the Islamic world, with the women dressed in traditional clothing, including the hejab or hijab, a head covering worn by Muslim women as a sign of modesty. The women are shown kneeling on prayer mats or rugs, their postures expressing deep concentration and devotion. The outdoor setting, with trees and foliage in the background, adds to the serene atmosphere and emphasizes the connection between the natural world and the spiritual practices of these individuals. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the artists' meticulous attention to detail and their commitment to preserving the heritage and traditions of the past. Today, it is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection, serving as an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of costume, ethnography, and the artistic representation of diverse communities.
