LUIS JIMÉNEZ ARANDA (Seville, 1845 - Pontoise, France, 1928). "Gentleman. Oil on panel. Signed in the lower right area. Measurements: 20 x 13 cm; 43 x 25 cm (frame). José Jiménez Aranda, brother of Luis and Manuel Jiménez Aranda, was a Spanish painter and illustrator who began his training with Manuel Cabral and Eduardo Cano de la Peña. His talent for drawing helped him to gain admission to the Santa Isabel de Hungría Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Seville in 1851. In 1868 he was in Madrid, where he learned in the Prado Museum from the best masters, feeling a special predilection for Goya and Velázquez. In 1867 he was in Jerez de la Frontera working as a restorer and designer of stained-glass windows and, four years later, he managed to go to Rome, where he met Mariano Fortuny. He returned four years later. Between 1881 and 1890 he lived in Paris, where he produced a series of works, most notably those set in the 18th century, which were greatly influenced by Fortuny, due to the success they brought him. When he returned to Madrid, he devoted himself to works with everyday themes but with a more costumbrist air. In 1892 he returned to Seville, where he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts until his death, in turn teaching leading figures such as Eugenio Hermoso, Manuel González Santos, etc., and frequenting the so-called "landscape circle of Alcalá de Guadaira" towards the end of the 19th century. Although his best-known works are the scenes inspired by 17th-century art, he also dealt with religious themes and landscapes. His work received numerous awards during his lifetime (Honourable Mention at the National Fine Arts Exhibitions of 1864 and 1866; First Medal at the 1890 Exhibition, Medal of Honour at the Munich International Exhibition of 1883...), and is held in important private collections and institutions such as the Museo Carmen Thyssen in Malaga, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, etc.

CARMEN LAFFÓN DE LA ESCOSURA (Seville, 1934). "Vase with daisy". Pastel on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Framed with museum glass, floating effect, with wooden frame. Size: 34 x 24,5 cm; 58 x 48 cm (frame). Still life in which the artist has used a palette of very clear and bright colours that recreate a brilliant atmosphere. A small glass vase contains a delicate vessel of white flowers, which have been arranged as a pictorial nexus by using a subdued treatment of the tones that blend together creating a powdery and lyrical finish. Carmen Laffón is a figurative painter and sculptor who has received numerous awards for her work (National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1982, academician of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid...). He began his training in painting with Manuel González Santos, a painter who was a friend of the family, and this was extended when he entered the School of Fine Arts in Seville. In 1954 she made a study trip to Paris, where she discovered and was impressed by the work of Marc Chagall; a year later she went to Rome on a scholarship, also travelling to Vienna and Holland, and on her return to Seville in 1956, her house opposite the Coto de Doñana would become the centre of her artistic production, beginning to exhibit her work two years later (Madrid, Seville). Between 1960 and 1962 he went to Madrid, where he met Juana Mordó (who offered him a contract with the Biosca Gallery and later another when she set up her own gallery). He returned to Seville and set up the El Taller school with Teresa Duclós and José Soto, beginning his career in art teaching. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, most of them of a national nature, including the exhibition held in 1992 at the Reina Sofía Museum and Art Centre in Madrid, which hosted a retrospective of the artist's complete oeuvre, including works in different formats that reflected the concerns of the artist's entire artistic career. Her works are preserved in private collections as well as in prominent institutions such as the Museo Nacional, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Museo de Arte Abstracto in Cuenca, the Meadows Museum in Dallas (USA), the Museo Colecciones ICO in Madrid, the Fundación Casa de la Moneda in Madrid, etc.
