17th century portrait of a Brazilian woman. The woman poses barefoot on a worn path under a cashew tree; half eaten cashew fruit strewn on the ground. She balances a basket of picked flowers in one hand and holds the skirt of her white tunic up with her other hand. Small rodents peek out from the bushes; bright red and yellow cashew fruit hang on branches above the woman’s head. In the background, sprawling green pastures stretch toward the horizon.

This is a digitally remastered high resolution detailed giclée print on deep matte paper. This is an archival quality print of “Mameluca Woman” from circa 1641 by Albert Eckhout; the original is currently owned by the National Museum of Denmark, in Copenhagen.
