Young Man in a Tunic. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish School, 14th century. A figurative carving made of wood that still preserves traces of polychromy and gilding. It is most likely a young man (beardless and with his hair uncovered), holding an object (perhaps a book). Since there are no other elements, a definitive identification of the figure is not possible (it could be an Evangelist). The shape and aesthetics of the piece would place it within the Spanish school, dating it to the 14th century.

Oinochoe. Bronze. Possibly Italy, 19th century. An oenochoe, oinochoe, oinochoe or oenochoe is a vessel used to draw wine from a krater (where it was stored) before serving in ancient Greece. Its heyday was during the Geometric period and various types are distinguished according to the shape of the mouth and the belly. Most Greek oenochoes were made of terracotta, but there are also some made of precious metals, presumably for the social classes that could afford them, although very few have survived. The present example seems to be inspired by ancient works (compare one in the Metropolitan Museum from around 460 BC with inventory number 1970.11.1 and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest with inventory number 66.142.A).

Sculpture in corrugated iron. Signed “Aug. Moreau”. Following models by Auguste Moreau, France, 19th century. It is reminiscent of works such as the bronze “The Fountain” by Mathurin Moreau, and pieces by Hyppolyte Moreau and Auguste Moreau (France, 1834 – 1917). Auguste began his training as a disciple of his older brother Mathurin. He made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1861, where he participated regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His themes – genre scenes, pastorals, allegorical – and his realistic and graceful style link him with other members of the Moreau dynasty, known for their small bronze works that were widely reproduced and inspired many other masters, both during the artists’ lifetime and after their death.
