"Milkwoman" is a notable work by Isaac Mendes Belisario, a prominent Jamaican artist and lithographer of the 19th century. Created in 1837, this piece is part of Belisario's larger series titled "Sketches of Character," which aimed to document and depict the diverse social and cultural life in Jamaica during the post-emancipation period. The series is particularly significant as it provides a visual record of the island's inhabitants and their occupations, offering insights into the daily lives and societal roles of people in Jamaica at the time.

Belisario, born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1795, was of Sephardic Jewish descent. He trained as an artist in London before returning to Jamaica, where he became one of the island's most influential artists. His works are characterized by their detailed and realistic portrayal of Jamaican life, capturing the vibrancy and complexity of the island's culture.

"Milkwoman" specifically depicts a female vendor, a common sight in the streets of Kingston during the 19th century. The image portrays the milkwoman in her traditional attire, carrying a large container of milk, which she would sell to the local populace. This depiction is not only a representation of a common occupation but also serves as a testament to the role of women in the economic life of Jamaica during this period.

Belisario's work is highly valued for its ethnographic significance, providing contemporary audiences with a window into the past. His attention to detail and commitment to authenticity make "Milkwoman" and the other pieces in the "Sketches of Character" series invaluable resources for understanding the cultural and social dynamics of 19th-century Jamaica. The lithographs are also appreciated for their artistic merit, showcasing Belisario's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with both sensitivity and precision.
