El Resero, Bronze and granite sculpture in Mataderos, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

El Resero depicts a mounted cattle herder at the intersection of Avenida Lisandro de la Torre and Avenida de los Corrales in Buenos Aires.

The municipality of Buenos Aires commissioned sculptor Emilio Jacinto Sarniguet to create this monument in 1929, completing the work in 1932.

This monument represents the traditional Argentine cattle herders who shaped the rural identity of the Pampas region through their work with livestock.

The sculpture stands at the entrance of Mercado de Liniers, making it a central landmark for orientation in the Mataderos neighborhood.

The statue gained national recognition when it appeared on the Argentine 10 peso coin between 1962 and 1968, sparking discussions about equine anatomy.
