"Boiadas" (meaning "cattle drive") is a work by Brazilian artist Arthur Nísio (c. 1906-1974) that captures the dynamism and energy of a cattle drive. The painting features a cowboy on horseback using a lasso to guide a large herd of cattle through a gate. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with rolling hills and a distant horizon. Nísio's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, making the cattle drive feel almost tangible. This work, likely created in the early to mid-20th century, is a testament to the beauty and vitality of rural life in Brazil.
