"Family of a Camacan Indian Chief Preparing for a Festival" is a 19th-century watercolor painting by French artist Jean Baptiste Debret. As a member of the French artistic mission to Brazil, Debret spent years documenting the people, customs, and landscapes of the country from 1816 to 1831. This particular work is part of his extensive visual record of Brazilian life, especially the indigenous populations, during the early colonial period.

The painting depicts an intimate scene of a Camacan Indian chief's family engaged in ceremonial preparations. The Camacan were an indigenous group in the northeastern part of Brazil, and Debret's portrayal offers a rare glimpse into their cultural practices. The artist's attention to detail in the clothing, body paint, and accessories of the figures reflects his commitment to ethnographic accuracy. Debret's work is characterized by its vivid color palette and the dynamic composition that brings the viewer into the daily life of the subjects.

This piece is one of many that contributed to Debret's later publication, "Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Brésil" (Picturesque and Historical Voyage to Brazil), which became an important visual account of Brazilian society in the 19th century. The painting not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical document, providing insights into the indigenous cultures that were often marginalized or misunderstood during the period of European colonization.

"Family of a Camacan Indian Chief Preparing for a Festival" is significant for its contribution to the understanding of the cultural and social dynamics of indigenous peoples in Brazil during a time of intense change. It remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, ethnography, and colonial history. The painting is also a testament to Debret's legacy as an artist who captured the richness and diversity of Brazilian life during his residence in the country.
