This genial barefooted native is a fruit vender. The wicker hampers borne by his donkey 

 contain many varieties of semitropical fruits, including figs, oranges, bananas, pomegranates, 

 lemons, grapes, apricots, and perhaps a few of the delicious hothouse pineapples for which 

 the islands are famous and which sell in the London markets for four or five shillings each. 

 Note the Chinese lanterns which festoon the trees, indicating that this is the Espirito Santo 

 festival season.
