Retrato de Don Alejandro Díaz is a 1866 oil by Prilidiano Pueyrredón, a Realism work, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This portrait shows a man in a dark military-style uniform with gold accents. He has dark hair and a beard, and he's looking straight at the viewer. The man's uniform is detailed, with buttons down the front and gold trim on the shoulders. He's also wearing a belt with a large gold buckle. The background is a dark landscape with a sunset or sunrise behind him. The painting is done in oil paint and uses chiaroscuro to create contrast between light and dark areas.
