About the piece

Painted in 1899, 'The Guitar Player' is a masterpiece by José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, a pioneer of regionalism in Brazilian art. The work depicts a candid and intimate moment of country life, characterized by the artist's incredible ability to render natural light and the weathered textures of a rural home.
