Girl writing on a fence. Lithograph. 20th century, following models by BRUNDAGE, Frances. Frances Isabelle (Lockwood) Brundage (United States of America, 1854-1937), was an illustrator greatly appreciated for her endearing children's illustrations on postcards, valentines, calendars, etc., which were published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, Samuel Gabriel Company and Saalfield Publishing, and several children's classics (novels by Louisa May Alcott, Johanna Spyri, the story of Robin Hood, etc.). This work is inspired by a Valentine's card published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, and it was so well received that postcards inspired by it were even published in Spain.

Writing desk. Bronze. 19th century. The four containers that make up the writing case are placed on a tray with curved profiles decorated with mouldings and scallops on its edges. The sandbox or sandpit, the feather duster and the inkwell have clear lines and smooth areas, combined with fine mouldings resembling a cord; the oval box with a lid finished in a knob has smooth mouldings on its entire outer surface. Although certain details (particularly the tray) could be reminiscent of certain Rococo works of the 18th century, the toned down movement of the tray, the decoration of the containers, the lines and the lack of prominent decorative elements would be more characteristic of the Neoclassicism of the 18th and 19th centuries, as is the inspiration in styles of the past and the combination of various currents in the same piece.

Two carriage scenes; “Christmas Eve. The top of the Hill” and “News of Waterloo! On the Great North Road: June 1815”. Framed lithographs. After WRIGHT, George (England, 1860-1944). George Wright was one of the leading equestrian artists of his time, specialising in hunting, carts and carriages, horses, races, etc. A self-taught artist like the rest of his family, little is known about his life. In 1925 he was in the pay of Ackermanns (England) and Grand Central Galleries (New York, United States of America), two very important lithograph publishing companies. His work is preserved in important private collections and institutions such as the Walker Art Gallery (UK), etc.

Devotional plaque, Saint Peter in tears. Bronze. Spanish school, 19th century. Devotional plaque made of bronze with a rectangular shape that has a washer at the top and a frame of smooth mouldings around a figurative relief. It shows a Christian theme known as “Saint Peter in tears” or “The repentance of Saint Peter”, being the moment in which the Apostle laments having denied Christ three times (hence the rooster on the column). Apparently, the piece shows a common iconography in a group of Castilian devotional plaques made since the end of the 16th century and throughout the 17th century, based on a chalcographic print (simplified and inverted) by Lèonard Gaultier (ca. 1561 - ca. 1635), and which was published by Jean Leclerc (1560 - ca. 1622). A similar piece to the present one is kept at the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia. Weight: 152 grams.

Two male figures appear, dressed in the old style, standing, with palms and a knife on the ground. They are the two Child Martyrs Justo and Pastor, patrons of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid).

View of Palencia, Monzón Gate. Oil on canvas. Spanish School (A. Rodríguez), 19th century. It has damage. Landscape showing a town or city wall in the foreground and a tower with a bell gable in the background on the right, accompanied by houses, etc. This type of scene and its workmanship (brush strokes, colours, fondness for ruins, etc.) were common in 19th century European schools, in line with a series of postulates and tastes that arose, in large part, thanks to pictorial Romanticism. The image shows the Puerta del Monzón in the walls of Palencia, with the city's cathedral in the background, in a way very close to how it could be seen in 19th century paintings and in engravings such as a lithograph from volume 9 of the series “Memories and beauties of Spain” (Lithograph "Puerta de Monzón (Palencia)". Taken from nature by FX Parcerisa; lithographed by S. Isla. Lit. by J. Donon, [1861]).

Jug. Glass, silver-plated metal. Possibly WMF, Germany. Circa 1900. With contrasting marks (handle). Jug with a transparent glass body decorated with geometric elements, a circular base, a globular body and a high cylindrical neck, which has a silver-plated metal handle with a “C” shape on the top. It has a decoration of architectural and plant elements with a marked classicist and Renaissance character, as well as a protomos with a horse’s front legs next to the top edge of the jug’s lid. The marks, present on the outer edge of the handle, would surely link the piece to the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik or WMF. In 1853 Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers established a metalworks factory called Straub & Schweizer, which achieved recognition at the London Exhibition as early as 1862, and opened its first shop in Berlin in 1868. In 1880 they merged with Metallwarenfabrik Ritter & Co. to form the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), which is still in operation today. Weight: 0.9 kg.
