Orlando Rabello Teruz was a Brazilian painter born in 1902 in Rio de Janeiro who depicted everyday scenes and social issues in a recognizable style. He portrayed popular scenes and picturesque everyday life with simplicity. His work had a mixture of social commentary, introspective lyricism, and nostalgia for childhood. While sensuality was a striking feature, his nude depictions managed to convey eroticism without vulgarity through chaste renderings of women.
