This captivating wax pastel on paper board by Carybe depicts a striking coastal scene. A confident woman, dressed in a flowing skirt and a shawl-like head covering, walks barefoot while balancing a large basket of freshly caught fish on her head. Accompanying her is a man clad in light-colored garments, possibly a fisherman, walking just behind her. The subtle earth tones and strong, graceful lines create a sense of timeless beauty and determination. Hector Julio Paride Bernabo, better known as Carybe, was an Argentine-born artist who became a celebrated Brazilian painter, sculptor, muralist, and illustrator. His vibrant and dynamic works captured the spirit of Bahian culture, often focusing on the lives of Afro-Brazilian communities and the daily activities of fishermen and market workers. Carybe's unique style blended the local culture's rhythm and movement with a keen sense of design, making his works treasured pieces of Latin American art. The composition is framed in a muted mauve mat with delicate metallic trim. The work is signed Carybe at the lower right.
