About the piece
Created around 1775, this oil painting by Agostino Brunias offers a fascinating glimpse into life in the 18th-century Caribbean. The work depicts four elegantly attired servants carefully grooming a deer, set within a grand interior characterized by teal-colored paneling and a striking checkered marble floor. Known for his unique documentation of colonial society, Brunias combines masterful neoclassical technique with a narrative subject that brings a sense of history and quiet sophistication to any space.
