Backgammon players, inspired by David Teniers the Younger. Miniature on ivory framed (gilt bronze, metal, glass, textile); signed (Dupre). 19th century. Miniature showing an interior with a series of humble social class figures. In the centre of the composition are the backgammon players, accompanied by various objects and other figures. In the lower right corner, there is a signature (“Dupre”; perhaps Léon-Victor Dupré, a French artist who was born in Limoges in 1816 and died in Paris in 1879, known for his landscapes and a disciple of his brother Jules Dupré, he was part of the Barbizon School). The gilt bronze frame features classically influenced banded decoration on the front, an openwork ribbon trim on the top, and pieces on the back that allow it to be placed on a flat surface or hung. Compare this with the painting attributed to David Teniers the Younger in the National Gallery in London, entitled Backgammon Players and probably executed between 1640 and 1645; and, above all, with the one in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, attributed to the same master and dated between 1635 and 1637, also entitled Backgammon Players.

Bullfighting scene. Oil on canvas. Signed (bottom left corner). GONZÁLEZ MARCOS, Ángel (Madrid, 1900 – 1978). A master of impressionist painting, Ángel González focused on bullfighting from his youth. He portrayed these themes from a tragic point of view, the drama starring the bull, the absolute starting point, and not the bullfighter. His work captures the rhythm of the movements of man and animal, the different phases of the bullfight, the energy, the liveliness and the colour with great immediacy and dynamism, reflecting bullfighting in all its splendour, without ever forgetting the expressive function of the bull and the bullfighter. He exhibited in Spain, Mexico and Peru, and is currently represented in various museums in Spain, as well as in New York, Lima, Bogotá, Caracas, Paris, Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Rome.

Hand bell or bell, “from Malinas”. Bronze. 16th century. Hand bell with clapper made of bronze and decorated on the outside with a slight relief. The base has, between bands, an inscription in capital letters and in Latin (“Sit nomen Domini benedictum”, “Blessed be the name of the Lord!”); above it, on the body of the bell, there is a decoration with angels, vases with plant elements, garlands, a figure playing a musical instrument, etc., with a great classical influence; the hand has a balustrade shape with mouldings. The text refers to the Apostolic or Papal Blessing, typical of Catholic liturgy. The export trade of handicrafts and artistic pieces during the 15th and 16th centuries that took place in the Netherlands was of great importance, especially between the territories that were then united under the same crown. Among the pieces (experts speak of almost industrial production) that enjoyed the greatest diffusion were these bells called "de Malinas" because they came from this Flemish city. The success of the model is indisputable and proof of this is that, from imported examples, molds were made with which to obtain absolutely identical copies. These bells usually have common characteristics such as their small size and their beveled profile; however, the peculiarity that easily identifies them is the decoration they have on their surface. Weight: 425 grams.

Sculpture in corrugated iron. Signed “Aug. Moreau”. Following models by Auguste Moreau, France, 19th century. It is reminiscent of works such as the bronze “The Fountain” by Mathurin Moreau, and pieces by Hyppolyte Moreau and Auguste Moreau (France, 1834 – 1917). Auguste began his training as a disciple of his older brother Mathurin. He made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1861, where he participated regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His themes – genre scenes, pastorals, allegorical – and his realistic and graceful style link him with other members of the Moreau dynasty, known for their small bronze works that were widely reproduced and inspired many other masters, both during the artists’ lifetime and after their death.
