This watercolor, titled "Punishing negroes at Cathabouco, Rio de Janeiro" by Augustus Earle, depicts a scene of punishment in Brazil in the 19th century. The work, in a realistic style, shows several figures, some of them enslaved, in a courtyard or jail, with one man being whipped. The historical context is framed by the cruelty of slavery and the punitive practices of the era in South America.
