"A White Man and his Slave Carrying his Belongings in 1822" is a notable work by French painter Jean Baptiste Debret, who is renowned for his detailed and vivid depictions of life in Brazil during the first half of the 19th century. Debret, a member of the French artistic mission to Brazil, spent 15 years in the country, from 1816 to 1831, documenting the social scenes, landscapes, and the complex dynamics of a society marked by colonialism and slavery.

This particular painting is a striking visual account that captures the hierarchical social structure and the racial dynamics of the time. It portrays a white man, presumably a European or European-descended Brazilian, being followed by an enslaved Black person carrying his master's possessions. The image is a poignant representation of the era's power imbalances and the dehumanizing aspects of slavery.

Debret's work is part of a larger collection of lithographs and paintings that were later compiled into a series titled "Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Brésil" or "Picturesque and Historical Voyage to Brazil," which remains an important historical source for understanding Brazilian society during the early 19th century. His artistic legacy provides critical insights into the cultural and racial milieu of Brazil, offering a visual narrative that complements historical texts.

The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, use of color, and composition, which not only reflects Debret's academic training but also his commitment to ethnographic accuracy. As such, "A White Man and his Slave Carrying his Belongings in 1822" is not only a work of art but also a document of historical significance, shedding light on the complexities of colonial Brazilian society and the lived experiences of its people.
