About the piece

Created around 1840 by Harro Harring, this evocative watercolor offers a historic perspective of the Bay of Rio de Janeiro. The composition masterfully frames the vast waters and mountainous horizon through lush tropical foliage and a prominent, sheltering tree, under which a small group of figures observes the activity in the distant harbor.
