A framed painting by the Uruguayan artist Alvaro Guillot (1912 - ?), which is entitled. This is an oil on canvas painted by the artist in 1967 and is signed on the lower right. Alvaro Guillot spent a good portion of his life in France and much of his work is influenced by that culture.

Alvaro Guillot, the son of a diplomat, has traveled throughout the world. He lived the life of the existentialist with the young painters in St. Germaine de Pres. Through his friend, artist Charles Levier, he was influenced to pick up the brush and paint. But branching out into his own changing style, he experimented with natural surrealism that grows with his development in later pictures into abstract realism. Guillot has been described as a Surrealist with blocks of color and the arrangement of shapes within the canvas rather than in the nature of the subject matter itself.
