"Milk and Capim Vendors" is a notable work by the French artist Jean Baptiste Debret, who was an influential figure in the artistic portrayal of Brazilian life in the 19th century. Debret, a painter, and draftsman, was part of the French Artistic Mission that arrived in Brazil in 1816, which aimed to promote cultural and artistic development in the country. His work is particularly significant for its detailed depiction of the daily life and social dynamics of Brazil during the colonial period.

The painting "Milk and Capim Vendors" is part of Debret's series of works that illustrate the diverse urban and rural scenes, focusing on the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro and their occupations. Created during Debret's time in Brazil from 1816 to 1831, this piece is a vibrant representation of the local street vendors, known for selling milk and capim (a type of grass used as animal fodder), which were common sights in the city during that era.

In "Milk and Capim Vendors," Debret employs his characteristic attention to detail and use of vivid colors to bring to life the figures of the vendors, who are typically depicted in their working environment. The painting serves as both an artistic and ethnographic record, providing insight into the clothing, tools, and practices of the working-class individuals of the time. Debret's work is also notable for its portrayal of the racial and social stratification prevalent in Brazilian society, often highlighting the roles and conditions of enslaved Africans and their descendants.

As part of Debret's larger body of work, "Milk and Capim Vendors" contributes to the understanding of Brazilian history and culture. His paintings are considered valuable historical documents that offer a window into the past, capturing the essence of life in Brazil during a period of significant change and development. Debret's artistic legacy is preserved in various collections, and his works continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical significance.
