Circle of NICOLÁS DE LARGILLIÈRE; early 18th century. "Portrait of a lady. Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. It has faults. It has a frame with faults from the 19th century. Measurements: 82 x 61 cm; 113 x 94 cm (frame). Portrait on indeterminate background of an elegant lady of high class, as it is possible to suppose so much for the dress, of low neckline, decorated with fine lace, and for her powdered wig. The lady's gaze is firmly fixed on the viewer, which adds character to the work and conveys to the viewer a feature about the psychological aspect of the lady that goes beyond the merely pictorial. The quality of the master responsible for the painting is also clear: first, in the economy of means, which keeps the viewer's attention focused on the lady (something to which the neutral background of the painting and the tonal interplay between the dress and the lady's pale skin also contribute); second, in the quality of the drawing used, especially on the face (drawing that predominates over colour and brushstrokes, as was usual in 19th-century art derived from the Neoclassicism of the Academies of Fine Arts). These works must have been executed by a painter belonging to the circle of the master Nicolas de Largilliere, one of the most important French portraitists of the time. In both works we can recognise various stylistic traits similar to those of the artist and his circle, such as the careful detail of the hairstyle and its beadwork, as well as in the drawings of the fabrics, the hair and the lace of the clothing. Largillière painted mainly portraits, although he also produced occasional historical, religious, landscapes and still lifes, subjects he worked on with the same technical mastery as his portraits. One of the greatest painters of the Regency and the reign of Louis XV, Largillière is represented in the Louvre, the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other leading art galleries around the world.

LAMBERT DE HONDT (c. 1620 - 1665). "Kermesse". Oil on canvas. Preserves original canvas. Signed in the lower central area. Measurements: 59 x 82 cm; 71 x 94 cm (frame). The canvas shows a rural scene in which some peasants celebrate a party with food, wine and different games in front of a house. Thus recreating a stylistic pattern typical of the genre scenes that took place in northern Europe. Some of the characters such as the dancers and children, are pictorial resources that popularized David Teniers the young who managed to revitalize the genre of the representation of these popular festivals, characterized by the festive abandonment that is manifested in the traditions of the local peasants, also known as Kermesse whose greatest representative was Pierte Bruegel the Elder. Lambert de Hondt the Elder was a Flemish painter and draughtsman known mainly for his equestrian and battle scenes, as well as for his genre and landscape paintings. Only a few facts about de Hondt's life are preserved. It is known that he worked in Mechelen. He is sometimes confused with another artist who signed his paintings with L. de Hondt. This other artist, who also specialized in battle scenes and made designs for tapestries around 1700, is called Lambert de Hondt the Younger. It is not known if the two artists were related. De Hondt must have enjoyed high-level patronage, as one of his paintings (is marked with a white fleur-de-lis, and originally had a coat of arms on the reverse. This indicates that the painting belonged to the collection of Elisabeth Farnese.He was probably the author of compositions depicting military camps, cavalry and military convoys and battles signed L.D. HONDT. These paintings are reminiscent of the manner of painting of David Teniers the Younger. In his military scenes he usually uses a sketchy technique. His paintings mostly depict horses and cavalry. He also painted village scenes, hunting scenes and landscapes.
