About the piece
Created during an expedition in the environs of Diamantino in 1828, this detailed watercolor by Hércules Florence captures the lush flora of Brazil with the precision of a naturalist. The composition features two figures on horseback framed by the sprawling, sculptural branches of an Embira Uçú tree, rendered in a sophisticated palette of muted greens and earth tones.
