Portrait of Monsieur Pertuiset the Lion-Hunter

Portrait of Monsieur Pertuiset the Lion-Hunter is an 1881 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet, produced just before his death and now in the São Paulo Art Museum. It shows the French explorer and adventurer Eugène Pertuiset, who in 1873 discovered the northern part of Tierra del Fuego in Patagonia whilst searching for Inca remains, an aim he was distracted from by discovering gold. He unsuccessfully petitioned the French authorities to buy land in Tierra del Fuego and on Dawson Island.[1]
