Cockatoo. Framed watercolor. 20th century. Watercolour showing a cockatoo (possibly a sulphur-crested cockatoo) perched on a stone bench and holding a cherry with one of its paws. The detail and composition of the work are reminiscent of 19th-century engravings that appeared in zoology volumes (compare the work of Edward Lear, for example), although it is also worth mentioning the painting entitled “Animal Collection” by Melchior d'Hondecoeter (circa 1960) in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Landscape. Oil on canvas. DEL VAL TROUILLHET, Mercedes (Valladolid, 1926-2012). Signed (lower right area). Mercedes del Val Trouillhet was a painter from Valladolid who began her training at a very young age (her first lessons at the age of seven, directed in Madrid by her teacher Timoteo Pérez Rubio). After the Civil War, she went on to study with the great draughtsman and poster artist José Picó Mitjans (1904-1991). From the beginning of her career she dealt with the subject of landscape, especially Castilian, and showed her work in various exhibitions (Valladolid in 1947, later Madrid, Córdoba, etc.). She also received several awards (Silver Medal at the XXIX Autumn Salon in Madrid in 1957...) and her painting is preserved in various private collections and in institutions such as the Museum of the University of Valladolid.

“Northern European landscape with ruins”, 17th century style. Oil on panel. Early 20th century. Rural landscape with a watercourse, a stone bridge and a ruined house, set among trees, enlivened by the presence of a person and with no apparent theme, inspired by Baroque works from Northern Europe. Given their popularity at the time, this type of painting was revived from the 19th century onwards, inspired by important Baroque works from both the Flemish and Dutch schools, having already moved beyond the detail of almost all 16th century landscapes of presenting a historical or biblical subject (which was often downplayed). Between the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, landscape painting gained great popularity in the Netherlands, with masters specialising in the genre proliferating.

Landscape. Painting on framed oval glass. 19th century. The landscape shows a lake or important watercourse, surrounded by high hills and forests, with houses, the ruins of a castle and several small, barely detailed figures, animating and bringing life to the composition.

“Gypsies”. Oil on canvas. Signed “A. Briones”. 20th century. Oil on canvas showing a natural landscape in the background, barely sketched, to give prominence to the figures moving forward in the foreground. The man on the right carries a staff on his shoulders and a series of items, and is accompanied by a bear cub. In the centre, a woman walks with a stick on her shoulder, leading a mount loaded with more objects and some children by the reins. The painting shows a family of gypsies on their way to a show in which they would use the bear cub. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the artistic image of gypsies was stereotyped and very scarce, with some engravings, tapestries and paintings such as “Landscape with Gypsies” by David Teniers III in the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The 19th century was the moment of the emergence of the gypsy motif in the visual arts, due to the interest of foreign artists attracted by the “exotic” nature of these people, exhibiting what they considered to be their most folkloric features, especially highlighting works by Fortuny and Sorolla. This work aims to focus on the particularities of the Gypsy people, but without limiting itself to their stereotypes, clearly showing the harshness of their life and the loneliness that it brought with it. Technically, it can be seen its relationship with new contributions that appeared in French painting since the end of the 19th century. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a pictorial movement that appeared in France towards the middle of the 19th century).

Beach. Oil on panel. Spanish School (Gonzalo Jiménez), 20th century. Signed (lower right corner). Landscape painted in oil on board showing a beach with a series of buildings, without human presence. Stylistically, the predominance of colour over the drawing, the brushstrokes, the tones, the subject, etc. respond to novelties brought by certain avant-garde movements that appeared in France from the end of the 19th century.

“Boy and Rabbit”, after Sir Henry Raeburn RA (1756 - 1823). Coloured artist's proof; engraving. WILSON, Sydney Ernest (b. 1869- ca. 1963). Early 20th century. With label on the back (Vicars Brothers Ltd., London). On the front, signature and text in pencil in the lower right corner; and text at the top. Framed, this image is inspired by the painting by Sir Henry Raeburn RA (1756 - 1823) made around 1814 and preserved in the Royal Academy in London (inventory 03/703). This piece is a work by the English engraver Sydney Ernest Wilson (Isleworth 1869–ca. 1963 Hemel Hempstead), whose signature appears in pencil in the lower right corner of the front, just above the words “selected proof” that would allude to the type of piece present. On the back, and thanks to a label from the London antique dealers Vicars Brothers, more details of this work can be read.

Knight. Oil on canvas. Dedicated, signed (F. Lloret.) and dated (1897) in the lower left corner. The bust of the gentleman is placed against an indeterminate background, his face slightly turned to the right. In the lower left corner, the dedication appears (“To Porfirio / his friend”), the painter’s signature and the date of the work’s completion (“F/97”). As in the rest of Europe, the portrait was a genre that enjoyed great popularity in 19th century Spain, mainly thanks to social changes (rise of the upper bourgeoisie, etc.) that influenced aesthetics, hence the degree of intimacy that the painting gives off, different from the “official portraits” preferred by the nobility.

Oil on panel showing an interior with a series of objects (a shelf, part of a wall, pieces of ceramic or porcelain, etc.) with a treatment derived from certain contributions from European avant-garde art, as can be seen in the framing of the scene, the predominance of colour over drawing, the brushstrokes, etc. Leslie Giffen Cauldwell was a painter born in New York (USA) who trained at the Académie Julian in Paris (France) under Gustave Boulanger and Carolus-Duran and exhibited his work at the Salons of 1885 and 1888. His work is preserved in private collections and institutions such as the Musée Orsay in Paris.
