This is his earliest known work. Santiago’s Porto Praia is the main harbour of Cape Verde.

These two functions of the island are depicted in the cartouche in the top right. It shows an African family and examples of livestock: a turkey and a goat. The man wears clothes that are also seen in depictions of plantation guards in the West Indies of the same period.
