Bronze sculpture, “Cupid”. Inspired by models by Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau (1834-1917). Lost wax casting. The figure of the child is identified thanks to its wings and the arch it shows. Cupid appears half-naked, with the quiver at his feet, and a stump behind him. The work is based on models created by a member of the well-known Moureau family: Mathurin exhibited for the first time at the Paris “Salon” in 1848, and it was in 1897 that he received a Medal of Honor. His work, inserted in that appreciated family style, shows a series of particularities that are still maintained in this sculpture.

Bronze table mirror frame. Inspired by Art Nouveau models (ca. 1900). Although the interior shape, very similar to a heraldic shield, links with academic prototypes, the prominence of the stems that form the exterior profile of the frame, the curved lines that they draw, the flowers and the interlacing finish (which is distantly reminiscent of what Celtic) speak of influences from models derived from Art Nouveau, a characteristic style from around 1900 and also known as “Modern Style”.

Oval table mirror frame in bronze. The space for the mirror has been highlighted with a string of pearls. The frame presents a profile of great movement due to the curves, countercurves and volutes that it presents.

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.
