Estudo para Partida da Monção or Departure for Monsoon is an oil painting on a canvas that was completed in 1897 by Brazilian painter José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, a representation of Brazilian naturalism and realism. The painting depicts a scene of a departure, likely of a group of people, possibly Bandeirantes, setting off on an expedition. It includes elements such as a river, boat, and figures of men, women, children, and an infant, suggesting a family or group leaving on a journey. The inclusion of a priest indicates a religious or ceremonial aspect to the departure.
