EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Agostino Brunias' masterpiece, "Mulatto Women on the Banks of the River Roseau, Dominica". Painted in oil on canvas during the mid-18th century, this artwork measures 40.7 x 85.1 cm and belongs to a private collection. The scene depicts a vibrant social gathering set against the picturesque backdrop of the riverbank. A large group of mulatto women, men, and children can be seen leisurely enjoying their time outdoors. The painting beautifully captures the diversity of ethnicities present in Dominica during that era. The composition is filled with life as people engage in conversation and recreation. Men and women stand together while children play nearby. One man uses his voice to communicate with others, adding an element of animated conversation to the atmosphere. Amidst this lively gathering, a dog accompanies its owner while a domesticated pet adds charm to the scene. The presence of parasols and umbrellas suggests that it is daytime as people seek shade from the sun's rays. Agostino Brunias skillfully portrays both natural space and human interaction through his use of color and posture. This artwork serves as a testament to his mastery as an old master painter. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into 18th-century West Indian society—a harmonious blend of cultures coming together by the banks of River Roseau for moments of relaxation and socializing amidst nature's beauty.
