Retrato de Santiago Calzadilla is a 1859 unspecified by Prilidiano Pueyrredón, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, holding a horse's head. He is wearing a white jacket, a black vest, and a white shirt with a black bow tie. The background is dark, with some objects that are not clearly visible. The man's facial expression is serious, and he seems to be looking directly at the viewer. His right hand is resting on his leg, while his left hand holds the horse's head. The horse's head is brown, and it appears to be made of wood or another material. The painting is quite detailed, with intricate textures and shading. It's a great example of a portrait from the mid-19th century.
