”MALA FAENA” (BAD BULLFIGHT PERFORMANCE). WATERCOLOUR. SIGNED. LLANECE...

Bad job. Watercolor. Signed in the lower left corner. José de San Bartolomé was a Spanish painter and sculptor who worked in the studio of the photographer Herbert from childhood and began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, continuing his studies at the Higher School of Painting at the Academy of San Fernando, while copying works by the masters of the Prado. In 1886 he settled in Paris, devoting himself mainly to genre painting in the wake of Fortuny, a theme that enjoyed great commercial success. He met Francisco Domingo, who opened the doors to the Buenos Aires market for him, where he received important commissions for painting and sculpture. He was Secretary of the Society of Artists of Paris, in 1894 he was named a knight of the Order of Charles III, in 1901 of the Legion of Honour and, in 1902, a commander of the Order of Isabel la Católica. At the beginning of the century he returned to Spain, and devoted himself mainly to portraiture, although he also painted landscapes and popular subjects. He enjoyed the protection of royalty, as evidenced by the portraits he painted of Queen Maria Cristina and various figures of the court. In 1925, the Paris Salon paid him a posthumous tribute with an exhibition of his work held in France. Works by Llaneces are preserved in the Prado Museum, the Pablo Sarasate Museum in Pamplona and in the Spanish embassy in Paris.

TRUNK. LEATHER, WOOD, IRON. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17-18TH CENTURY.

Trunk. Wood, leather, iron. Spanish School, around 1700. Wooden trunk with a curved lid and rectangular shape, covered with leather on the outside, with fittings, handles, studs and two closures at the front, which has a front and top opening. Inside it has a lower space accessible from the front divided in two by a vertical piece of wood; the lid and part of the chest have a textile covering. The back does not have leather. The nails with circular heads are arranged in geometric shapes. The handles have disc decorations. The fittings, also worked, follow models based on architectural designs, motifs also present in the lock shields on the front. Some of the metal elements still have traces of gilding. These types of trunks were known as “travel trunks” because they were normally used to store objects on journeys, hence the leather covering and the apparent lack of decoration on the outside. Having two locks was for greater security, since the two keys had to be used together to open it and these were usually entrusted to two different people. Compare this with the 17th century travel trunk from the Viceroyalty of Peru in the Museum of America (Madrid), which has decoration with animals and plant motifs (embossed leather). Or with the Chest of the Mayorazgo de la Cerda (17th century) in the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Madrid).

SEATED LADY. WATERCOLOUR. JIMENEZ ARANDA, LUIS. ROME, ITALY, 1873.

Seated Woman. Watercolor. JIMÉNEZ ARANDA, Luis. Rome, Italy, 1873. Signed, dated and located (lower right area). Luis Jiménez Aranda (Seville, 1845-Pontoise, France, 1928) was the brother of the painters José and Manuel Jiménez Aranda. He began his training with José, expanding it at the Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville and, even more, going to Rome in 1867 thanks to a four-year stipend provided by a private patron in exchange for a painting a year (here he would train with Marià Fortuny). When this aid ended in 1874, he continued in the city sharing housing with José Villegas Cordero and Francisco Peralta del Campo (all three studying with Eduardo Rosales). In 1876 he settled in Pontoise, near Paris, becoming a naturalized French citizen from 1877 onwards. He participated in several editions of the Paris Salon, in the Universal Expositions of this city in 1889 and of Chicago in 1893 (achieving recognition in both), and in National Exhibitions of Fine Arts of Spain (First Medal in 1892). Well-known for his genre paintings, he specialized in historical subjects, producing numerous important works. His work is held in several private collections and institutions such as the Meadows Museum (Dallas, Texas, USA), the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, etc.

PAIR OF PORCELAIN FIGURAL SALT SERVERS. MEISSEN, GERMANY, POSSIBLY SEC...

Pair of spice jars. Glazed porcelain. Meissen, Germany, possibly second half of the 19th century. Trademarks and inscriptions on bases. A pair of glazed porcelain spice jars, each with a base featuring a Rococo-inspired wave relief, supporting two baskets with handles and raised floral motifs on the exterior. A figure sits between the baskets: a young man wearing a hat, a young woman holding a bouquet of flowers, both displaying 18th-century influence in their clothing. The predominance of white and blue is reminiscent of the first Chinese porcelains to arrive in Europe on a large scale, works that inspired numerous European factories. Inside the baskets are flowers reminiscent of the well-known Meissen "onion pattern," but in a much simplified form. The Meissen marks (two crossed swords in blue) that appear on the bases of both figures are those used by the factory between 1815 and 1924. On the male figure, additional incised numbers (1320 and 73047) and 2521 in blue ink are also visible. On the female figure, more inscribed numbers (136k, 73035) and 1 in blue ink can be seen.

Reclining on the base is a female figure dressed in a tunic, accompanied by a winged child with a quiver of arrows on his back; these figures may represent Venus and Cupid. The Paris-type movement features a hallmark alluding to the bronze medal awarded to Samuel Marti et Cie. at the Paris Exposition (France) of either 1855 or 1860, which the watchmaking company retained until 1889 (other experts date this mark between 1867 and 1900). On the reverse, near the base, is engraved the inscription “PH. Mourey 6 8,” referring to Philippe Mourey (active 1840-1910/20), a French bronze worker and watchmaker. Weight: 25 kg.

Vaslav Niyinsky (transliterated Vátslav Fomich Nizhinski) was a Polish-born Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, considered one of the most gifted in history, notable above all for his meeting with Sergei Diaghilev, a member of the St. Petersburg elite and an important patron of the arts, who promoted Russian visual and musical art abroad, particularly in Paris. During the First World War, Nijinsky was placed under house arrest in Hungary for being a Russian citizen. Diaghilev managed to get Nijinsky out of the country thanks to the intervention of Alfonso XIII and his Oficina Pro Cautivos (Office for the Protection of Prisoners). The signature is accompanied by a photograph of the employees, which were used as business cards at the time (cabinet photograph), and is dated 1914.
