Gaucho Scene – (Juan León Pallière Y Goujon) Previous Next


Artist:

Size: 37 x 71 cm

Museum: Colección de Arte Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Technique: Sanguine

Pallière employed the sanguine technique to rapidly sketch everything that passed before his eyes, particularly while traveling. The subject of this scene is –as the title precisely indicates– a wagon pulled by four horses, all of them ridden by gauchos wearing ponchos. To the right, a mother on horseback lifts up her son to take him along with the group; to the left two children can be seen walking in the dirt. Two of the wagon’s passengers, both female figures, are visible. Different tree specimens are recorded rounding out the scene, with three examples of palms that are particularly notable. A small herd can be seen in the distance, in the shade of the trees on the left hand side.
