Meet Jean Baptiste Debret, a French artist who captured everyday life in 19th century Brazil.

He witnessed and portrayed the Brazilian Carnival as an animated and colorful festival.

Debret worked for almost 4 years in difficult conditions to record the scenes of everyday life in Brazil.

The Entrudo, a popular festival, was introduced in Brazil by the Portuguese in the 16th century.

The Entrudo involved games where young people threw lemons-of-scent, as seen in Debret's painting.
