The subject is the sugar plantation of San Esteban where Bellermann stayed as the guest of a German businessman, Glöckler, in his summer months in Venezuela between 1842 and 1845. It was one of the artist's favourite subjects. He wrote in his diary: 'the time I spent there belongs to one of the most wonderful memories of my life.', and there are many versions of the subject by Bellermann recorded, from small sketches to fully finished larger canvases.
