| Description |
Illustration accompanies Chapter III, "Province of Rio de Jainero." As the title suggests, it depicts a free negress (presumably
the woman closest to the left) and three market women. A small child, not mentioned in the title, is visible at the far left.
Sheltered by a small canopy, the four women sell fruits and vegetables: pineapples occupy a basket in the right foreground,
melons and squash (?) are scattered on the ground, and two women balance baskets on their heads. Three large sacks contain
additional market-goods, possibly beans. While it is ultimately unclear, the image appears to show a conflict between the
negress and the market-woman seated on the bench.
