About the piece
Painted circa 1780 by Agostino Brunias, this oil on canvas work depicts a planter and his wife in fine fashion, gesturing towards a tropical vista. Brunias was renowned for his depictions of the British West Indies, and this piece captures the intricate social dynamics and vibrant scenery of the period through detailed textile work and atmospheric palm trees.
