Retrato de la Señora Adela Eastman de Barros is a 1865 oil by Prilidiano Pueyrredón, a Realism work, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This portrait depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a black dress adorned with white lace and a red brooch. Her hands are clasped together in front of her. The background is dark, with a subtle hint of light on the right side. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing attention to the subject's face and hands. The National Museum of Fine Arts Buenos Aires holds this painting, offering a glimpse into the artistic style of the time.
Prilidiano Pueyrredón (January 24, 1823 – November 3, 1870) was an Argentine painter, architect and engineer. One of the country's first prominent painters, he was known for his costumbrist sensibility and preference for everyday themes.
