Painted by William Havell in gouache, this artwork showcases a vibrant garden scene along the Braganza shore. In the foreground of the image, two women and a child of European descent are depicted wearing elegant shawls, hats, and long dresses as they purchase bananas, pineapples, and melons from a black woman dressed in a white skirt. The artist skillfully captures their interactions with intricate detail and lifelike colors. As we explore further into the painting's composition, we notice other figures carrying produce down a path lined with towering tropical plants and trees. The bustling activity suggests that this garden is not only beautiful but also serves as an important marketplace for fresh fruits.
