Created by the talented artist Jean Baptiste Debret, this print showcases a bustling street scene filled with vibrant colors and intriguing details. In the heart of Brazil's streets, we witness a group of women engaged in their trade as sellers of ruda grass. Dressed in traditional attire, these ladies exude grace and elegance as they go about their daily business. Their expertise in botany is evident as they skillfully arrange baskets filled with lush greenery.

The lithograph captures not only the beauty of the women but also provides insight into the country's rich cultural heritage. As we explore this image further, it becomes clear that it represents more than just a simple street scene.
