A framed, painted ceramic tile (azulejo) panel depicts a detailed coffee harvesting scene in a rural landscape. Seven figures are engaged in various tasks related to coffee cultivation. From left to right: 1. A man wearing a straw hat, light shirt, and dark pants, stands holding a long staff or tool. 2. A woman with a head covering, light dress, and a basket on her back, stands facing right. 3. A man in a hat, light shirt, and light pants, crouches on the ground, seemingly collecting or sorting coffee beans into a woven basket. 4. Centrally, a standing woman, dressed in a head covering and an apron, holds a flat, shallow basket or sieve with both hands, indicating a process such as winnowing or sorting. 5. Behind her, a man in a hat, light shirt, and dark pants, stands on a wooden ladder, reaching up to pick coffee beans from taller branches. 6. To the right, a man in a hat and light shirt bends over a coffee plant, actively harvesting. 7. The final figure on the far right, a youth in a hat, light shirt, and light pants, carries a large, white sack, presumably filled with harvested coffee, over his left shoulder. The background is densely populated with stylized coffee plants and other foliage, suggesting an outdoor plantation setting. The ground is depicted with reddish-brown earth tones. The sky is bright, visible through the foliage. The artwork features clear outlines, earthy color tones, and an illustrative, folk-art aesthetic. The panel is displayed indoors, behind a reflective glass surface, against a dark wall. This artwork is located within the **Museu da Imigração do Estado de São Paulo** (Immigration Museum of the State of São Paulo) in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
