About the piece
Painted around 1860 by Prilidiano Pueyrredón, this work captures the dignity and daily life of the 'capataces' or overseers on the Argentine pampas. The composition features two central figures in traditional attire, one on a spirited brown horse and another leaning against a white steed, set against a vast, luminous horizon where cattle are herded in the distance.
