Green patinated bronze base. Stipe with herms. On a square base stands the foot of the stipe, decorated with vegetal and architectural motifs and lion's paws on which rises a scroll that ends in a bust of a young man. This same anthropomorphic element is repeated on the other side, and, between them, diamond blades and points complete the surfaces. The inverted truncated-pyramidal pilaster was widely used in the Spanish Baroque, with busts (called hermas) being added even then. In the present work, the classicist influence is undeniable.

Pair of candlesticks. "Man and woman". Lost wax casting. Marble base. It is necessary to highlight these anthropomorphic candlesticks for a series of details.
