"Hab.t de la Pologne", from the playing cards (for quartets) "Costumes des Peuples Étrangers" is an 18th-century engraving that depicts a man and a woman in traditional Polish clothing. The couple stands in a field, likely meant to represent the Polish countryside. The man wears a green coat with a red sash, and the woman wears a red dress with a blue sash. The card is part of a set of playing cards that illustrated the costumes of different foreign peoples. This artwork is a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century perceptions of Polish fashion and culture. It was created by an anonymous artist and is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
