Though strange elsewhere, the use of the article ("the") in this context of history is not at all uncommon and seems to fits rather nicely.
I hope this helps :-)

Of course, another option would be without the article ("the"), i.e., a portrait of life in Buenos Aires in 1956. Note: without "the" it might sound a little better with "in" than "of" (in relation to the year).

a snapshot of porteño life in 1956:
or a typical Buenos Aires scene, perhaps
depending on the context, porteño would be fine if it has already been referred to - it would go in italics, but gives it a more authentic flavour, in my opinion.
