"Gypsies". Oil on canvas. Signed “A. Briones ”. Twentieth century. Oil on canvas that shows a natural landscape in the background, barely sketched, to give prominence to the figures that are placed advancing in the foreground. The man, on the right, carries a cane on his shoulders and a series of items, in addition to being accompanied by a baby bear. In the center, a woman walks with a stick on her shoulder, leading a saddle loaded with more objects and some children. The painting shows a family of gypsies, on their way to a show in which they would employ the baby bear. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the artistic image of gypsies is stereotyped and very scarce, with some engravings, tapestries and paintings such as David Teniers III's “Landscape with Gypsies” from the Prado Museum (inv. Poo1818). The nineteenth century would be the moment of emergence of the gypsy motif in the plastic arts, before the interest of foreign artists attracted by the “exotic” of these people, exposing what they considered their most folkloric features, especially highlighting works by Fortuny and Sorolla. This work aims to influence the particularities of the gypsy people, but without being left alone in their stereotypes, clearly showing the harshness of their life and the loneliness that it brought with it. Technically, its relationship with novel contributions that appeared in French painting since the end of the 19th century can be appreciated. Thematically, it is reminiscent of works of social realism (a pictorial movement that appeared in France in the mid-nineteenth century).

Framed miniature. The miniature represents a young woman talking to a man of a certain age in a garden that is only alluded to by a flowered branch that could be an almond or cherry tree. The influence of the ancient Arab miniature in this work is clear, but there is also an idealization that can be related to the taste for the exotic that flooded art in the 19th century and that was reflected in works with thematic landscapes and scenes considered typical of the Arab world in Europe.
