Bronze sculpture. “Worried girl”. Lost wax casting. Marble base. The girl stands on a base that resembles earth, on which a stump and some roses also appear. Her hand on her face and her worried look, together with the gesture of spreading her skirt, make the spectator think that perhaps she has lost the flowers she was wearing or something is wrong with the garment. The influence of models from 19th century French bronze sculptures is clear in her shapes, lines and the vocabulary explained. Weight 5 kg.

Mythological figure. Bronze. A circular base slightly elevates the bronze figure. The man, already of a certain age (as can be deduced from his thick beard), is standing, dressed with a cloth around his waist, wearing sandals and a crown of leaves (perhaps also with bunches of grapes), and holds a torch in his right hand while with his left he raises or fights a large snake that seems to emerge from his shoulder. Although it is logical to think that this is Laocoon fighting the snake, there are other mythological figures that have been represented facing monsters (often with that same form), such as Cadmus; the Fury Tisiphone is represented holding a torch and one or more snakes in her hands.
