"Indians using a Fallen Tree trunk to Cross the Rio Paraiba do Sul" is a 19th-century artwork by French painter Jean Baptiste Debret. As a member of the French artistic mission to Brazil, Debret spent years documenting the people, landscapes, and customs of Brazil, contributing significantly to the visual record of the nation's history during the early colonial period.

This particular work is a watercolor painting that captures a moment of daily life for indigenous people in Brazil, depicting them using a natural feature—a fallen tree trunk—as a makeshift bridge to cross the Rio Paraiba do Sul. The river, an important waterway in southeastern Brazil, is a recurring subject in Debret's Brazilian works, reflecting his interest in the country's natural environment and its inhabitants.

Debret's portrayal of the indigenous people is both ethnographic and artistic, offering insight into their way of life while showcasing his skills in composition and color. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail and the vividness with which Debret renders the lush Brazilian landscape. It is part of a larger body of work that Debret produced during his time in Brazil from 1816 to 1831, which was later compiled into a series of lithographs and published in his book "Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Brésil" (Picturesque and Historical Voyage to Brazil).

The artwork is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, as it provides a European perspective on the indigenous people of Brazil during a period of intense change and colonization. Debret's works, including "Indians using a Fallen Tree trunk to Cross the Rio Paraiba do Sul," remain an important source for understanding the cultural and social dynamics of Brazil in the early 19th century.
