About this Work

A bustling waterfront market in Roseau, circa 1780. Under a red parasol held by an attendant, an elegantly dressed woman in white examines textiles for sale. Around her, enslaved people, free people of color, and white Creoles move through the same space, buying and selling cloth, produce, and corn, ships visible in the harbor behind them.

Brunias paid close attention to the striped and checked cottons the women wore, as much as to the linen being traded, and those details have made the painting an unusually rich record of 18th-century Caribbean material life.

The original is held at the Yale Center for British Art.

Meet the Artist

Agostino Brunias

Agostino Brunias was a Roman-born painter who trained at the Accademia di San Luca before making his way to England, where he worked under architect Robert Adam. In 1764 he left London for the British West Indies, eventually settling in Dominica, where he spent much of the rest of his life. His paintings and engravings of Caribbean creole culture and indigenous Carib life remain among the most significant visual records of 18th-century West Indian society.
