EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Penitent Indian, an awe-inspiring figure of devotion and asceticism. With peacock feathers held delicately in his arms, he exudes a sense of spiritual intensity. However, it is the piercing through his cheeks and tongue with a piece of iron that truly captures one's attention. The pain endured by this penitent ascetic serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to religious practices. The print is signed by P. Sonnerat pinx and Poisson sc, adding an air of authenticity to this remarkable depiction. It can be found on Plate 79 after page 262 in Pierre M. Sonnerat's renowned work "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine". Published in 1782, this comprehensive account explores the customs, religion, sciences, and arts of Indians, Chinese people, Pegouins (Burmese), and Madegasses (Malagasy). As we gaze upon this image frozen in time from centuries ago, we are transported into a world where faith knows no bounds. The Penitent Indian's profound sacrifice reminds us of the power that lies within spirituality and its ability to shape lives.
