Sculpture. Bronze. Signed and numbered (1/6). VEIGA, Fernando (Madrid, 1943). Female sculpture located on a dark stone base that shows a young woman kneeling up and without her arms (recalling the Venus de Milo, for example, and adding the detail of showing the young lady with a face of the sculpture and larger on the other, in clear contrast), totally naked and with a treatment that brings it closer to innovations contributed by various artistic avant-garde of the 20th century. Fernando Veiga (Madrid, 1943) is a Spanish sculptor closely linked to the North American avant-garde, whom he knows from his stays in New York, along with fine modeling, present in some of his pieces, more linked to the realist tradition that began in Greece and Rome in Antiquity, can be seen in traditional Spanish imagery and is still valid today in some masters. He has exhibited his work in Spain on numerous occasions (Madrid, etc.).

Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. Pair of stirrups composed of a carved wooden block, in the shape of a half-moon at the front, and decorated on the outside with geometric and vegetal elements, and a surrounding piece of iron. By reserving metal for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently to make stirrups in Chile. The shape of the present pair, which follows a common typology of the time, seems to have been derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups for protection from water, branches, etc., being the artisanal development exercised above all by the Jesuits in the area which led to this type of carvings and ornaments, which survive to this day.

Friar armchair. Leather, walnut wood. Spain, 16th century. It has faults. Armchair with arms and high back of the type known as “frailero”, which has leather with studs in the upper part of the back (missing in the seat), low cut-out profile chambranes joining the front legs with the rear ones and middle chambranes or stringers (the front one is carved and cut out, creating geometric motifs) joining the two front legs and the two rear ones, and simple armrests, with highlighted volute finishes. The friar armchair, initially of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist current of the 19th century. Being a tradition so deeply rooted in Spain, these types of models have never stopped being created.
