Comments
Shown are three women in full dresses and head ties/turbans; one woman carries a basket of fruit on her head. Biard, a French painter, lived in Brazil for about two years, 1858-1860. His published account contains a number of images of slave life, several of which are included on this website. For a detailed study of Biard and his Brazilian sojourn, see Ana Lucia Araujo, Romantisme Tropical (Quebec, 2008).
