About the Item

Heraldic shield. Oil on canvas. TORRES, A. Spanish school, 1856. Signed and dated. This work shows a heraldic shield on a blue background with different tones, in an oval and framed support. The central (and only) element of the composition consists of a doorbell with a helmet with gold bars and four feathers, and a quartered shield. Towards the lower right, there is a signature (A. Torres) and a date (1856). First quarter, cut, with a bird (possibly a sable eagle) with wings exhibited and expanded on gold, and, below, of sinople, a gold band crossed in the middle of the mouths of two azure serpents (recalling the well known "band of Castile"), on gules. In the second quarter, twelve gold eight-pointed stars in three columns, on a broken field in sable and silver. In the third, on gules, gold chains around three bands crossed with gold. In the fourth, six gold waning on azure. Around both elements, and uniting them, a symmetrical composition of architectural, plant and scroll elements has been placed, with a clear classicist influence and with a certain reminiscence of works from the Spanish Renaissance. · Size: 46x4,5x58 cms. int: 36x47 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
