Toque de oración 1925

"Toque de oración" (1925) by Uruguayan artist Pedro Figari (1861-1938) depicts a scene of daily life in Montevideo, Uruguay. The painting features a group of figures walking down a street lined with brightly colored buildings. The composition is characterized by its simplicity and clarity, with a strong emphasis on geometric forms. Figari's unique style, known as "figurismo," captures the essence of Uruguayan culture through its focus on traditional dress, customs, and architecture. This painting is now housed at the Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales in Montevideo.
