"A Planter and his Wife, Attended by a Servant" is a notable work by the Italian painter Agostino Brunias (1730–1796), who is renowned for his vivid depictions of life in the British West Indies during the colonial period. Brunias, born in Rome, moved to England in 1758 and later, in the 1760s, followed Sir William Young, 1st Baronet, to the West Indies, where he spent much of his career. His paintings are significant for their detailed portrayal of the social and cultural life of the Caribbean islands under British rule.

This particular painting, created in the late 18th century, is an oil on canvas that showcases Brunias's skill in capturing the complexities of colonial society through his art. The scene depicts a European planter and his wife, both attired in the fashion of the period, being attended to by an African or Afro-Caribbean servant, highlighting the racial and social hierarchies of the time. The composition, while seemingly serene and idyllic, invites viewers to reflect on the power dynamics and the everyday realities of plantation life, including the reliance on enslaved labor.

Brunias's work, including "A Planter and his Wife, Attended by a Servant," is celebrated for its ethnographic accuracy and attention to detail, offering a window into the diverse cultures and peoples of the Caribbean. His paintings are considered important historical documents that contribute to our understanding of the colonial era, as well as works of art that challenge and complicate simplistic narratives about Caribbean history.

The painting is part of Brunias's broader oeuvre that captures the landscapes, peoples, and customs of the West Indies with a unique blend of European artistic traditions and keen observation of local life. Through his art, Brunias provides a nuanced perspective on the colonial experience, making "A Planter and his Wife, Attended by a Servant" a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its historical significance.
