16th Century / 1501 - 1600

A basement of the Renaissance, bronze. Three feet and a hole in the middle. Three paws of winged lions support the basement. Bas reliefs depicting garlands surmounted by storks are represented within a reserve contained in moldings on each side of the basement. The three uprights are surmounted by ram's heads. The round relief was probably welded in the 19th century to convert the item in an inkpot. Manufactured in Tuscany, Italy, first half of the 16th century.

Oil on canvas. Venetian school of the eighteenth century. The portrait proposes the figure of a young woman wearing an everyday dress, but embellished with spotted fur edges; curiously, with the raised arm she flaunts a fur muff tucked over one hand, probably a habit to underline a fashion of the time. The painting shows signs of restoration, with conservation of the original canvas, although reassembled on a new frame. It is presented in a coeval oval frame, but surmounted by a wooden frieze added at a later time.
