Comments
Water color on paper titled "Punishing Negroes at Cathabouco [i.e., Calabouco], Rio de Janeiro." An unclothed black man is tied to stake and being whipped by another black, supervised by a white man. Augustus Earle, an English painter who travelled widely, lived in Rio from early 1820 to early 1824, with occasional trips to Chile and Peru during that period.
