DiaporamaThe Overseers
In The Overseers, the central focus is on two men who appear in the foreground while the low horizon of the plains reaches back behind them, where peons participating in the rodeo can be seen. The two main characters are dressed in fine clothes, with long chiripá (baggy trousers), rastra (wide belt) and facón (long knife). One of the men, standing, passes his left arm over his horse’s saddle; the other remains mounted. The light blue sky is barely interrupted by clouds. Around 1860, the period during which Pueyrredón painted these pieces, a tendency toward a very simple naturalistic type of representation can be noted in his works, especially those in the folk genre, not exempt from certain romantic traces.
