To desire is a 1903 oil by Eduardo Sívori, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a man and a woman standing together, looking out at a distant landscape. The man is dressed in a suit and hat, while the woman wears a long dress and a hat adorned with flowers. They are positioned in front of a tree, with the man's arm around the woman's waist. The painting is characterized by its use of muted colors, with shades of brown, green, and blue dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are soft and gentle, giving the scene a sense of tranquility and intimacy. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the figures in the foreground.
