Pericón criollo is a 1909 unspecified by Pedro Figari, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting shows a lively gathering of people in a large room. The room has high ceilings and arched doorways, with a central doorway leading to another room. The walls are painted in warm, earthy tones, and the floor is made of dark wood. The people in the room are dressed in traditional clothing, with the women wearing long skirts and the men wearing hats and jackets. They appear to be engaged in conversation, with some standing in small groups and others sitting on benches. The atmosphere is one of warmth and conviviality, with a sense of community and connection among the people. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and movement in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye through the room and inviting them to explore the scene. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the use of chiaroscuro.
Pedro Figari (June 29, 1861 – July 24, 1938) was a Uruguayan painter, lawyer, writer, and politician.
