About the piece

Painted in 1865 by the Argentine master Prilidiano Pueyrredón, this portrait captures Coronel Alvaro Barros in full military regalia. The artist employs a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, allowing the figure to emerge from a dark, atmospheric background while highlighting the intricate textures of his gold-fringed epaulettes and the metallic sheen of his sword hilt.
