Pair of 19th century miniatures. “Portrait of a Lady” and “Portrait of a Gentleman”. With illegible signature. Carved and gilded wooden frames. Pair of miniature portraits, representing a lady and a gentleman from the 19th century, surrounded by magnificent carved and gilded wooden frames, of Baroque inspiration, based on curled acanthus leaves. Miniature painting, especially portraits, developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. These were mainly paintings fitted into objects such as medallions, table clocks or small boxes. They were produced using a wide variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, tin or ivory, washes on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolours on ivory. This delicate art was lost from the second half of the 19th century, in parallel with the development of photography.

Figures with a soldier. Oil on canvas. 20th century. In this oil painting, a series of humble figures of all ages are placed to the right, and a soldier on horseback with his back to the viewer (a detail that, together with his posture, prevents any possibility of a heroic sense in the work); in the background, ruins with rocks occupy most of the canvas, leaving an opening to the horizon and a light of dawn to the left. Both in the types and in the composition and the ruins, the influence of ancient Flemish models in the painting is clear.

“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.
