Retrato de la Señora Elvira Lavalleja de Calzadilla is a 1859 oil by Prilidiano Pueyrredón, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting shows a woman in a gray dress with blue accents, sitting in front of a landscape. She has dark hair and is holding a white shawl and a red parasol. The background is a serene landscape with trees and a body of water. The woman's dress is intricately detailed, with ruffles and bows that add texture to the painting. Her expression is calm and introspective, inviting the viewer to ponder her thoughts. This painting is a great example of the work of Prilidiano Pueyrredón, who was known for his portraits of Argentine society in the 19th century.
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.
