Bandit and soldier, a couple. Oils on panels. LUCAS VILLAAMIL, Eugenio (Madrid, 1858-1919). They present a signature and remnants of a signature. This pair of panels depicts two male busts against a blue background. Despite their detail and naturalism, they are not portraits per se, but rather "type paintings," reflecting the prevailing conception of a bandit or a general at the time, in line with certain common tenets of Spanish Romanticism. Eugenio Lucas Villaamil began his training with his father, Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, and continued it at the Special School of Painting in Madrid. His work was notable for largely following his father's style, with a strong Goyaesque influence in both style and subject matter (he also copied some of Goya's paintings), and he was a protégé of José Lázaro Galdiano. Thus, in addition to depictions of traditional Madrid, bullfighting, and other subjects, he was also known for his portraits, urban scenes (of both the upper and lower classes), and other works. His work is held in numerous private collections and institutions such as the Prado Museum (Madrid), the Carmen Thyssen Museum (Málaga), the Lázaro Galdiano Museum (Madrid), the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando (Madrid), and the National Museum of Romanticism (Madrid), among others.

Saint Stephen. Oil on canvas. 17th century, after an engraving by Aegidius Sadeler (inspired by Jacopo Palma). The figure of the Saint appears in the foreground, with his arms raised to heaven; to the viewer's left, the martyrdom of Saint Stephen is depicted, under the celestial apparition of Christ and God the Father; on the other side, some buildings and spectators are shown. Both the composition and the figures reveal an influence, direct or indirect through other paintings, of an engraving by Aegidius Sadeler II (1570-1629) based on a Martyrdom of Saint Stephen by Jacopo Palma the Younger (1548-1628).

Asterio Mañanós Martínez began his painting studies at the Municipal Drawing School of Palencia with Justo María de Velasco and, from 1877, at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, in the classes of Casto Plasencia and Casado del Alisal. He also frequently visited the Prado Museum, making copies of Velázquez's works. From 1881, he participated in the National Fine Arts Exhibitions. He divided his time between Madrid and Palencia, where he was commissioned to design the curtains and stage curtains for the Teatro de Recreo Palentino. In 1885, he received a grant from the Provincial Council of Palencia to further his artistic training at the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome, which lasted a year. Back in his hometown, he decorated the Teatro de la Peña Palentina with Sabino Ojero. He also opened a drawing academy, named "Casado del Alisal" in honor of his teacher, in collaboration with Isidro Mallol. In 1889, he moved to Paris for a year to study the realist style of Léon Bonnat. Upon returning to Spain, he established his studio in Madrid, where he painted Doña Sancha Before the Corpse of Her Husband and the portrait of Tomás Bretón. From 1908, the Senate's Governing Commission appointed him curator of the Upper House's artworks. The large parliamentary paintings depicting Senate sessions and chambers are a product of this experience. One of his last canvases was an allegory of the Second Republic, now part of the Senate's collection. The place and circumstances of his death are unknown, but it is documented that he was alive in 1935.

Bad work. Watercolor. Signed towards the lower left corner. LLANECES, JOSÉ DE SAN BARTOLOMÉ (Madrid, Spain, 1863-1919). José de San Bartolomé was a Spanish painter and sculptor who worked from childhood in the studio of the photographer Herbert and began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, expanding it at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts, while copying works by the masters at the Prado Museum. In 1886, he moved to Paris, dedicating himself primarily to genre painting in the style of Fortuny, a theme that enjoyed great commercial success. He met Francisco Domingo, who opened the doors of the Buenos Aires art market to him, where he received important commissions for painting and sculpture. He was Secretary of the Society of Artists of Paris, and in 1894 he was named a Knight of the Order of Charles III, in 1901 of the Legion of Honor, and in 1902, a Commander of the Order of Isabella the Catholic. At the beginning of the 20th century, he returned to Spain and devoted himself mainly to portraiture, although he also painted landscapes and scenes of everyday life. He enjoyed the patronage of royalty, as evidenced by the portraits he painted of Queen Maria Cristina and various members of the court. In 1925, the Paris Salon paid him posthumous tribute with an exhibition of his work held in France. Works by Llaneces are held in the Prado Museum, the Pablo Sarasate Museum in Pamplona, and the Spanish Embassy in Paris.
