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.

“Voltaire” armchair in rosewood. The Voltaire armchair is a particular type of armchair with arms, a low seat and a high back that became particularly popular during the reign of Louis-Philippe I of France (1773–1850; monarch from 1830 to 1848). The name probably derives from its association with the French writer François-Marie Arouet (1694–1778), better known by his pseudonym, Voltaire. The piece of furniture features two rollers on its front legs, simple carved decoration and tapestry-like upholstery on the arms, back and seat.
