The National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires has highlighted Raymond Monvoisin’s ‘Estudio de paisaje’, a small-format oil painting, in the latest post in its #LaObraDelDía series. The museum presented the work as part of its daily artwork feature in a social-media post published on 18 August 2026.
The post describes Monvoisin as a travelling painter and emphasizes the breadth of his production. According to the museum, his work includes portraits, nudes and urban scenes, alongside landscape studies such as the featured painting. No exhibition or event connected to the work was announced in the post.
‘Estudio de paisaje’ is identified as an oil painting of small format. The museum’s brief presentation focuses on the work’s place within Monvoisin’s varied practice rather than providing a detailed account of its subject, date or technique.
The post also records an aspect of the painting’s acquisition history. Eduardo Schiaffino acquired the work in 1904 during an official mission in Europe. The museum does not provide further details in the post about the circumstances of the acquisition or the work’s subsequent transfer.
The feature reflects the Buenos Aires museum’s use of its #LaObraDelDía series to draw attention to individual works and collection histories. In this instance, the institution pairs a concise description of Monvoisin’s artistic range with the documented connection between ‘Estudio de paisaje’ and Schiaffino’s 1904 European mission.
