About the piece

Created around 1850 by Manuel de Araújo Porto-Alegre, this graphite and watercolor study depicts the untamed beauty of a tropical forest. The work showcases a masterful layering of greens and earth tones to illustrate the intricate textures of Brazilian foliage, from broad palm-like leaves to twisting lianas and dense understory.
