A portrait by Spanish Post-Impressionist Darío de Regoyos y Valdés, 'The Farmer' captures a seated man with loose brushstrokes and a warm colour palette, reflecting the artist's expressive style and interest in light and atmosphere.

Darío de Regoyos y Valdés (1857-1913) was a Spanish painter known for his contributions to Post-Impressionism. Regoyos explored the effects of light and atmosphere, often depicting scenes from everyday life with a distinctive, expressive style. His work moved away from academic traditions, embracing a more subjective and emotional approach to painting. He was associated with the Generation of '98, a group of Spanish intellectuals and artists concerned with the cultural and social issues of their time. 'The Farmer' is an oil on canvas portrait featuring a seated man. The figure is rendered with loose, visible brushstrokes, characteristic of Post-Impressionist technique. The colour palette is dominated by warm tones of red, brown, and yellow, with touches of green and blue adding contrast. The subject's features are suggested rather than precisely defined, contributing to the painting's overall sense of immediacy and spontaneity. The background is indistinct, focusing attention on the figure and his presence.
