This vivid hand-colored engraving depicts a "Bayadere," a term historically associated with Indian temple dancers. The figure is captured in a dynamic pose, adorned with jewelry and dressed in richly striped, traditional attire. Her gesturing hands suggest movement and performance, set against a minimal background with stylized foliage. This print serves as a visual document from a period of intense European interest in diverse global cultures, particularly those from Asia.

Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur was a prolific French author and diplomat, widely recognized for his ethnographic works that meticulously documented various peoples and their customs from around the world. His publications, such as Tableaux des peuples de l'Asie, were instrumental in shaping European understanding of diverse cultures. Labrousse, an accomplished engraver of the period, collaborated on numerous such projects, skillfully translating ethnographic observations into detailed copperplate prints, often enhanced with hand-coloring for informative and aesthetic purposes.
