A vertical, framed oil painting titled "Latitude" by artist Cassiano Vasconcelos, created in 1987, is prominently displayed on an off-white wall within an art museum or gallery located in São Paulo, Brazil. The artist is noted on an adjacent label as being born in Brazil and living in São Paulo. The painting itself depicts a mythological or fantastical scene. Centrally, a bare-chested male figure with long, flowing reddish-brown hair and an orange loincloth stands on the back of a large, blue-green fish-like creature. The male figure has patterned bands on his upper arms and lower legs, and his right arm is extended forward while his left arm is placed on the creature's head. The creature features a large, round orange eye, a spiny body, and a prominent, vibrant yellow, orange, and green fan-shaped tail with dark, hanging elements. The scene is framed by a painted dark gold, ornate arched structure, giving the impression of a window or alcove. Beyond this arch, the background reveals a tumultuous sky with blue and white clouds above a dark body of water with subtle waves. A small, orange, broken boat or object is partially submerged in the water on the lower left. The artwork is housed in a simple, light-brown wooden frame. To the immediate lower right of the painting, a rectangular, light beige informational label is affixed to the wall. This label provides the artist's name (Cassiano Vasconcelos), his birthplace and current residence (Brazil, São Paulo), the artwork's title ("Latitude"), its creation year (1987), and its medium (Oil on canvas), followed by partial collection details. A faint shadow is cast beneath the painting, and a small portion of another label is visible on the wall to the lower left. The environment is uniformly lit, characteristic of an indoor gallery space.
