About the piece
This 1873 oil painting by Agostinho José da Mota captures an abundance of tropical flora with remarkable botanical precision. Centered by a large, textured jackfruit split open to reveal its interior, the composition is accented by coffee branches, starfruit, and guavas, all rendered with a sophisticated play of light and shadow characteristic of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Brazil.
