This 100% wool tapestry, depicting a tropical village, is part of a group of decorative art works (including several large tapestries) made during Alfredo Gauro Ambrosi's stay in Brazil from 1923 to 1925.

In the Veronese archives of the heirs result lists of the works he created since 1915, and also many news of his stay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he spent three years, from 1923 to 1925, as an appreciated portrait painter so much so that in 1924 he made the portrait of H.E. Arthur Bernardes who was the president of Brazil.
