Quito Carrying Vegetables, 1865 - A Glimpse into the Daily Life of Quito's Indigenous People
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This watercolour print by Ramon Salas offers a vivid snapshot of life in Quito, Ecuador during the mid-19th century. The artwork showcases a native Quito person adorned in traditional attire, carrying an impressive bundle of fresh vegetables on their back. Dressed in a vibrant striped skirt and shawl, this figure exudes strength and resilience as they navigate through bustling streets. The scene suggests that this individual is likely engaged in commerce, either selling or distributing food and drink to their community. With determination etched on their face, they embody the spirit of hard work and resourcefulness that characterized many indigenous peoples across South America during this time. Salas' meticulous attention to detail brings forth the rich cultural heritage of Quito's inhabitants. The artist masterfully captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys a sense of pride and dignity within his subject. This portrayal serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of these native people despite facing numerous challenges. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an ordinary moment from history—a glimpse into the daily lives of those who shaped Quito's identity. It reminds us to appreciate both the beauty found within artistry and the stories it can tell about our shared human experience.
