About the piece
Painted in 1827 by Hércules Florence, this watercolor captures the vibrant biodiversity of the Brazilian landscape. A lone traveler on a mule is depicted amidst towering 'Samanbaya' ferns and bamboo, reflecting the artist's dual role as both an explorer and a scientific illustrator during the Langsdorff Expedition.
