About the piece
Dating to approximately 1799, this Spanish Colonial 'Casta' painting illustrates the domestic life and social structures of the period. The composition features figures in traditional attire engaged in work with large vats, rendered with the characteristic narrative depth and warm palette of late 18th-century Latin American art.
