The Cavaliers - Los Caballeros; 2 horsemen in full military uniform, with red tunics, riding across a countryside. From the uniforms, could be anything from Napoleonic era (N. I.), to contemporary to the 1890s-1900s. miniature painting & over-written message on a post-card.unsigned.circa-1904.Sgouros collection-item 1.scan.jpg Impressionist style; somewhat resembling (anticipates?) a modern-art romantic-novel book-cover of the 1960s-1970s. Spanish Impressionist school, Madrid-style?; circa 1904 - postcard message is dated "28 Octobre 1904", therefore presumably the artwork was created some time before this date. Especially given that the oil(?) paint has been overwritten, & was presumably already dry at the time The painting is executed in oils(?) on a fairly heavy-guage brown cardstock; unsigned, artist not known. The image fills the central-right portion of one side of the card, with an irregular border; overwritten with the post-card's message-content, inverse to the orientation of the image, in ink (& pencil?). Condition is generally good; some blotches, wear, & scuffing, corners slightly worn, exact original shade of the cardstock uncertain, but it was almost certainly some shade of cardboard-brown to begin with. Address, postage stamp, & postmarked on reverse; postmark not yet read. "TARJETA POSTAL UNION POSTAL UNIVERSAL ESPANA" "Exposicion Martinez, Hortaleza. I. -- Madrid." (Hortaleza is an area of Madrid) Private collection, fam. Sgouros. This upload made possible by Elios & Jessie Sgouros. |
