About the piece
Created in 1892 by Modesto Brocos Gómez, this oil on canvas offers a fascinating glimpse into a Brazilian cassava mill (Engenho de Mandioca). The composition uses warm, natural light from a side window to illuminate the workers and the rhythmic texture of the harvest, creating a scene that is both historically significant and visually grounding.
