Abstract

The following paper focuses on the portrait of Manuelita de Rosas, by Prilidiano Pueyrredón (1851), placed in the National Museum of Fine Arts (mnba), and its copy made by Domingo del Villar in 1933, placed in the National Historical Museum (mhn). This analysis takes the debate between both institutions concerning historical or aesthetical values of the portrait. There is also a comparison between the siting proposal of each museum. The idea is to trace why the original painting lies in the mnba and the copy in the mhn, focusing on the notions of piece of art and document, respectively
