The date 1911 is evident on the picture. It is probably when Valença started painting with Presciliano Silva in the surroundings of Salvador/Bahia.

The place was not identified, but it seems a seaside fishing port.

The landscape is dominated by a house known as casa de oitão, whose main front is narrow in relation to its wide, high, and long side. This house might have had a splendorous past. It is surrounded by huts, with few people depicting street scenes.
