Renaissance bronze bell, 1555. Dated. Stem decorated with plant elements, the shoulders decorated with elegant lines, the middle presents profiles within plant garlands and two legends above and below in Latin. Bells were used by Catholics to call the faithful as early as the 5th century, but their use in civil and other religions dates back to Greek and Roman times. The relief decoration on this bell places it in the Renaissance, inspired by Roman coins for the profiles and plant elements it depicts. The date on the body also accurately establishes the piece's creation, adding to its value. The inscriptions attest to its religious use.

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. 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).

Photograph and signature. Vaslav Niyinsky (kyiv, 1890-London, 1950), 1914. 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.
