Primeiros Sons do Hino da Independência (First Sounds of the Independence Anthem), also known as Hino da Independência (Independence Anthem),[1] is a painting by Augusto Bracet made in 1922.

An excerpt from his writings was shown at the first public exhibit of the painting for contextualisation.

[3] Contrarily to triumphalist portrayals of Dom Pedro in the independence process, such as Independência ou Morte by Pedro Américo, the painting by Bracet explores the emperor's intimacy,[3] having him play a domestic and even feminine role.

The painting was selected in 1923, together with artworks by Georgina de Albuquerque, Helios Seelinger and Pedro Bruno, to be bought by the state art collection.

The selection was done by Flexa Ribeiro, Archimedes Memória, and Rodolfo Chambelland, with their task being searching for new iconographic portrayals of historical interpretations of independence.
