In 1885 the Barcelona-based José Gallart Forgas commissioned Francisco Oller, who was of Spanish descent himself, to paint his five sugar mills, or ingenios, though this is the only one Oller completed. While the sparse landscape includes relatively few laborers, partly a result of Puerto Rico’s abolition of slavery nearly twelve years earlier, this scene is one of technological progress and efficiency, featuring a steam-operated mill at right and a cart track at left.
Among the most celebrated Caribbean painters in the nineteenth century, Oller spent a number of years living and studying in Paris. There he absorbed and reconfigured the radical styles of Realism, with its democratic approach to everyday subject matter, and Impressionism, with its emphasis on spontaneous and momentary effects of light and atmosphere. Together these movements helped Oller form a unique artistic vision of his native Puerto Rico (then a Spanish colony), emphasizing its local plants, landscapes, traditions, and sugar production, the mainstay of the island’s economy.
See this work of Oller’s as part of Monet to Morisot: The Real and Imagined in European Art on the fifth floor.

El Velorio (the Wake) 1893 by Francisco Oller
Baquiné is a long forgotten tradition from Puerto Rico and possibly the wider Caribbean area. It was observed in the African Diasporic populations.
Baquiné is the tradition of holding a celebration instead of a funeral for a child who died under the age of 7, as the people thought because of their youth, they were pure and could immediately ascend to heaven and in some traditions, become and angel.
The event was celebrated with family, food, drumming and prayers. The prayers were to gain his and the saints intercession.
From all I could find on this, I can't say which tribe from Africa this type of celebration has evolved from. Regardless, I think it's beautiful and a part of our history we shouldn't forget.

Opening next month, Monet to Morisot: The Real and Imagined in European Art is a new thematic reinstallation of the Museum’s renowned holdings of 19th and 20th century European art, featuring nearly 90 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by artists including Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Francisco Oller, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Gabriele Münter, Yves Tanguy, and Vasily Kandinsky. Casting fresh eyes on the collection, this presentation explores not only the profound and ongoing influence of modern European art, but also how the art historical canon itself is a site of tension.
Many of these works will be on view together in Brooklyn for the first time since 2016, when they began touring the United States and Asia in the acclaimed exhibition French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850–1950. You can see them at the Brooklyn Museum, in new galleries on the fifth floor, beginning February 4.
Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926). The Doge’s Palace, 1908. Oil on canvas. Brooklyn Museum; Gift of A. Augustus Healy, 20.634. ⇨ Berthe Morisot (French, 1841–1895). Mme Boursier and Her Daughter), circa 1873. Oil on canvas. Brooklyn Museum; Museum Collection Fund, 29.30.
