This portrait by Carlos Pablo Ripamonte was created in 1939 and shows the portrait of a seated Gaucho in an indistinct environment. The figure is rendered with broad rough brushwork so that its silhouette barely contrasts with the background. The impasto paint application gives the works an appealing haptic quality and the green-brown color scheme lets the composition appear very harmonious.



The painting is in very good condition. It is signed, dated and bears a dedication ‘A mi amigo M. Garcia Hernandez / Afectuosamente / C. P. Ripamonte 1939’ upper left as well as being inscribed in black marker by an unknown hand on the verso. The frame shows minor wear. The framed work measures 42 x 33 cm, the image size is 34 x 26 cm.
