1893
oil
From the collection of Pinacoteca de São Paulo
Portrait of Castagneto is a 1893 oil by Estêvão Silva, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
This painting shows a man with dark, curly hair and a beard, wearing a white robe. The background is a warm, earthy tone. The man's gaze is direct, and his expression is serious. His robe is draped casually around his shoulders, and the folds of the fabric are visible. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting.

Estêvão Roberto da Silva (1844? in Rio de Janeiro – 9 November 1891, in Rio de Janeiro) was an Afro-Brazilian painter and art teacher.
