Brazilian Village  1675

by Frans Jansz Post

The province of Pernambuco, which the Dutch captured from the Portuguese, was home to many different
ethnic groups. In the foreground is an Indian family; further back a Dutch couple strolls towards the verandah; and standing at the porch railing are a veiled Portuguese woman and a slave with a basket on his head.
