BACKGAMMON PLAYERS MINIATURE, AFTER DAVID TENIERS THE YOUNGER. MINIATU...

Backgammon players, inspired by David Teniers The Younger. Framed ivory miniature (gilt bronze, metal, glass, textile); signed (Dupre). XIX century. Miniature that shows an interior with a series of characters of humble social class. In the center of the composition, the backgammon players are located, accompanied by various objects and other characters. In the lower right corner, a signature (“Dupre” appears; perhaps Léon-Victor Dupré, 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, was part of the Barbizon School). The frame, made of gilded bronze, presents a classically influenced banded decoration on its front, an openwork bow finish on the upper part, and pieces on the back that allow it to be placed on a flat surface or hung. Compare the painting attributed to David Teniers the Younger in the National Gallery, London, titled Backgammon Players, probably made between 1640 and 1645; and, above all, with that of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, attributed to the same master and dated between 1635 and 1637, also titled Backgammon Players.

Cupid. Enameled porcelain. Possibly Meissen, 19th century. With sticker on the base. Presents restorations. Porcelain figure that has an oval and golden base on which Cupid is presented reclining, characterized as usual by his wings, his bow and his quiver with arrows.

VL Veneziani was a store with its main headquarters on Rome's Via Frattina (and another business on Via Gregoriana) specialized in selling antique and antique-style paintings, furniture and porcelain. Works related to this trade are preserved in several private collections and the Fondazione Federico Zeri of the Università di Bologna.

HERALDIC SHIELD. OIL ON CANVAS. TORRES, A. SPANISH SCHOOL, 1856.

Heraldic shield. Oil on canvas. TORRES, A. Spanish school, 1856. Signed and dated. This work shows a heraldic shield on a blue background with different tones, on an oval and framed support. The central (and only) element of the composition consists of a bell with a helmet with gold bars and four feathers, and a quartered shield. Towards the lower right area, a signature (A. Torres) and a date (1856) appear. First quarter, cut, with a bird (possibly a saber eagle) with wings displayed and expanded on gold, and, below, in chinople, a gold band crossed between the mouths of two azure serpents (recalling the well-known “band of Castile"), on gules. In the second quarter, twelve eight-pointed gold stars in three columns, on a field divided into sable and silver. In the third, on gules, gold chains around three crossed bands of gold. In the fourth, six waning gold on azure. Around both elements, and uniting them, a symmetrical composition of architectural, plant and scroll elements has been placed, with a clear classicist influence and with a certain memory of works from the Spanish Renaissance.
