Oval plate in carved white marble. “Children of the courtship of Dionysus.” The three children sit on a meadow. One holds a branch with bunches of grapes and vine leaves; The second puts an arm around his shoulder, and holds a glass; The third joins his hands while looking at his companions. Due to the objects they carry, they can be related to the procession that accompanies the god Dionysus, also known as Bacchus. This type of theme, extracted from classical mythology but without belonging to the main issues, was widely used in Art especially since the 18th century.

Marble sculpture inspired by the characteristic portrait busts of the Roman Empire. In the portrait is where Rome makes its most characteristic contribution to the tradition founded by the Greeks, a contribution that has matured much earlier than in other types of sculpture and that caused the development of sculpture in Rome to be divided into two fields, with different patterns of evolution, the portrait and the other types. Since the time of the Republic, portraiture was highly valued and over time it oscillated cyclically between an idealizing classicist tendency and another of great realism, derived in part from the typical expressiveness of Hellenistic art. And among the portraits, the bust and the head were the most frequent shapes. Full-length portraits were less common, although not rare. The preference for the bust and the head is a typical Roman cultural trait that created a huge market throughout the Mediterranean basin, and is explained first, by economic reasons, being much cheaper than a complete statue, but also by the conviction of a best individual identification that prevailed among them. For the Romans, it was the head, and not the body or the costumes or accessories, that were the center of interest in the portrait.

Marble bust “Louis XIV”. Veined marble. Twentieth century. Bust of a marble knight, dressed in armor and wearing a long curly wig. The idealization, his clothing and the posture refer to examples of busts made around the court of Louis XIV (1710-1774) by artists such as Antoine Coysevox, Jean-Antoine Houdon, Warin, etc. Although the artist's mastery reflects a certain degree of individuality in the face, it is not possible to identify it due to the lack of elements that allow it, an intentional detail that does not detract from the work.

Bronze figure placed on a circular base that shows a child dressed in a humble manner, holding a teapot and raising his hand towards his mouth in a gesture of shouting or proclaiming his “merchandise” or services. The piece is reminiscent of European works (France, Vienna...) from towards the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century both in the material chosen and in the theme of the sculpture, its size, its composition, its detail, etc. The inscription on the base (P. Dubois) refers to the sculptor Paul Dubois (France, 1829-1905), whose works would inspire the present sculpture (especially one in particular, very similar to this one).
