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.
