Interior. Oil on panel. GIFFEN CAULDWELL, Leslie (United States of America, 1861-1941). Signed (lower left and upper right areas). Oil on panel depicting an interior with a series of objects (bookshelves, part of the wall, pieces of ceramic or porcelain, etc.) rendered with a style influenced by certain European avant-garde movements, as evidenced by the framing of the scene, the predominance of color over line, the brushstrokes, and other elements. Leslie Giffen Cauldwell was a painter born in New York (USA) who trained at the Académie Julian in Paris (France) under Gustave Boulanger and Carolus-Duran and exhibited his work at the Salons of 1885 and 1888. His work is held in private collections and in institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

Holy water vessel. Bronze. 16th century. This bronze piece features a circular base and a circular body with an outward-curving mouth at the top. The upper part is decorated with relief masks reminiscent of certain Renaissance pieces depicting Medusa (the rings for the handle emerge from two of these masks). This holy water vessel, also known as a situla, is a type of object that appeared in the West during the Middle Ages within this religious context. This particular example draws inspiration from Renaissance pieces in both its lines and decoration, and thus also evokes works from Ancient Rome (such as the situla in the Landesmuseum in Hanover).

Door knocker. Wrought iron. 16th century. A wrought iron door knocker made of several pieces, the main one being the most prominent. This piece features two bands that begin parallel to each other, then separate to form two opposing volutes joined at this point by a rectangular piece. Several engraved lines further accentuate these elements. The use of volutes in wrought iron was common as early as the Romanesque period, and this element evolved over time.

Friar's chair. Leather, wood. Spain, 16th century. It has flaws and requires restoration. A high-backed armchair of the type known as a "frailero" (friar's chair), featuring studded leather on the upper back and seat, low stretchers with a cut-out profile connecting the front and rear legs, and medium stretchers or rails (the front one carved and cut out with geometric patterns) connecting the two front and two rear legs, and simple armrests. Originally of Italian origin, the frailero armchair became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture after its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of that century and the 17th, and experiencing a revival in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Because it was such a deeply rooted tradition in Spain, this type of chair continued to be produced throughout the centuries.

Devotional medal of Saint Nicholas on a stand. Gilt bronze, textile, metal. 18th century. A gilded bronze devotional medal mounted on a wire support with an oval frame adorned with a crest featuring symmetrical vegetal motifs and another finial below, also composed of vegetal elements and volutes. Within this plain frame is the figure of a saint. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical vestments, accompanied by small figures praying, positioned within a barrel or bucket. Saint Nicholas of Myra or Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. One of his best-known miracles was the resurrection of three children (depicted in this work) who had been sacrificed by an innkeeper to feed his customers. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here in liturgical vestments but without the customary mitre. The three spheres above the book are believed to allude to the miracle in which the saint helped the father of three girls to gather a dowry for them (as they are three golden spheres).

View of Palencia, Monzón Gate. Oil on canvas. Spanish School (A. Rodríguez), 19th century. It shows damage. A landscape depicting a town or city wall in the foreground and a tower with a belfry in the background on the right, accompanied by houses, etc. This type of scene and its execution (brushstrokes, colors, fondness for ruins, etc.) were common in 19th-century European schools, in line with a series of principles and tastes that arose, in large part, thanks to Romantic painting. The image shows the Monzón Gate of the Palencia city walls, with the city's cathedral in the background, in a manner very similar to how it could be seen in 19th-century paintings and engravings such as a lithograph from volume 9 of the series "Recuerdos y bellezas de España" (Lithograph "Puerta de Monzón (Palencia)". Drawn from life by FX Parcerisa; lithographed by S. Isla. Lithographed by J. Donon, [1861]).
