Portrait of Don Camilo Aldao is a 1865 oil by Prilidiano Pueyrredón, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a black jacket over a white shirt. He is seated, with his hands clasped together in front of him. The background is a dark brown color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. His attire suggests that he may be a gentleman or a member of the upper class. The painting is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and facial features.
