VALENTIN DE ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963)."Basque types".Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower left corner.With label on the back of the XXemeExpositionBiennaleInternationale des Beaux-Arts, Venice, 1936.Measurements: 101 x 101 cm; 123 x 123 cm (frame).Valentín de Zubiaurre demonstrates in this painting his superb gifts as a portraitist, reflecting with naturalism and closeness to the three main characters, perfectly individualized in their attitudes and features. Zubiaurre, who knew like no one else how to represent the people of his time, especially Basques and Castilians, takes pleasure in the attitudes of the figures, with serious and measured gestures. The young girl, dressed in popular Basque clothing, is presented in strict profile, holding a basket of fruit in her right hand. Her gaze is directed to the old man in front of her, whose reflective face alludes to hard work and life in the countryside. In his right hand he holds a walking stick, revealing his advanced age, while in his left he holds a jar. Like him, the villager behind him, with an imperturbable gesture, wears popular clothes and a txapela. Special mention should be made of this last character, who looks directly at the viewer, an aspect that departs from what is usual in contemporary Spanish genre painting, where the characters usually ignore the painter's presence (as, in this composition, the other two villagers do). Behind this monumental group portrait, we see a group of houses of the village unfold. The white walls and gabled roofs tell us that we are in a small village in the Basque Country, full of life according to the locals who invade its streets.The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín de Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, as was his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. He began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, also deaf and mute, before entering the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1894. There he was a disciple of Carlos de Haes, Muñoz Degrain, Ferrant and Moreno Carbonero, and at the same time he completed his solid training by visiting the Prado Museum. In 1898 the two Zubiaurre brothers embarked on a study trip that would take them to France, Italy and the Netherlands. On their return to Spain they obtained a scholarship from the Diputación de Vizcaya in 1902, which allowed them to settle in Paris. There they attended classes at the Académie Julian, became acquainted with the modern trends that were then developing in the French capital and became interested in Impressionism. However, the Zubiaurre brothers were not permeable to its influence, mainly due to the weight of their academic training and their admiration for the Flemish and Italian primitives as well as for contemporary Spanish painters such as Dario de Regoyos and, especially, Ignacio Zuloaga. Valentín de Zubiaurre regularly sent his works to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, being awarded on several occasions; in 1908 he obtained the second medal, and in 1917 he was awarded the first medal. He was also distinguished with awards from foreign institutions, and won prizes in outstanding international competitions held in the first decade of the 20th century, among them those of Munich, Buenos Aires, Brussels, San Francisco, San Diego and the University of Panama. From the 1920s until the Civil War, the Zubiaurre brothers experienced their period of greatest success and recognition, both in Spain and internationally. After the war Valentín de Zubiaurre resumed his career in Spain, and his recognition became official with his appointment as a full member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in 1945, culminating with the medal of honor awarded to him at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1957, six years before his death. He is currently represented in the Fine Arts Museums of Chicago, Buenos Aires, Paris, Luxembourg, Munich, Berlin, Tokyo, Pittsburg and San Diego, as well as in the main art galleries of the Basque Country, the Castagnino Museum in Argentina, the Reina Sofía National Art Center, the BBVA collection and the Museum of Modern Art in Rome, among others, both public and private.

A walking stick of Napoleon Bonaparte interest, with an ivory handle, crisply carved with a dog's head and collar, mounted with diamonds, opals, garnet, split pearls, coral, turquoise and zircon, a banded agate in the dog's open mouth over a cast yellow metal collar which tests as 15ct gold, similarly mounted with gemstones, on a malachite cane, with an applied paper label which reads 'From The Collection of the Stansfield and Cooper-Horsfall families. This stick was presented to Marshal Soult, with gratitude from Napoleon' [sic],91cm longProvenance: The Peter and Pat Crofts Collection.Marshal General Jean-de-Soult, the 1st Duke of Dalmatia (born 29 March 1769, died 26 November 1851), commonly known as Marshal Soult, was a distinguished military commander during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (including the Peninsular War).The Stansfield and Copper-Horsfall families were brought together by the marriage of the Reverend Michael Alfred Horsfall of West Thorpe, Whitby to Mabel Catherine Stansfield in 1897.As the name Stansfield is mentioned first, it is more than feasible that the stick came into the possession of the Copper-Horsfall family through Michael’s marriage to Mabel in 1897. The Stansfield family were a well-established family in the County of Yorkshire gentry. Likewise, the Horsfall family appear to have been long residents in the county.Condition report: Some gemstones not original.Discolouration to the gold collar amongst gemstones.Overall good.There is a drilled banded agate bead in the mouth of the dog. This is a later addition. Glue is visible around the bead. There are two green gemstones in collets to the nose of the dog. The gemstones and collets are later additions. Due to mount limitations we have been unable to make a positive identification as to the type and variety of these gemstones. The forehead and eyes are set with rose cut diamonds and turquoise cabochons (one cracked), which are probably original. There are coral cabochons and green gemstones glued to the head, these are later additions. There may originally have gem-set collets in these recesses. Due to mount limitations we have been unable to make a positive identification as to the type and variety of the green gemstones. The carved buckle style collar to the dog is set with diamonds, opal, turquoise, brown zircon, a colourless gem for a which a positive identification has not been possible due to mount limitations, all in collets, and three cabochon turquoise which have been glued in. The glued turquoise are later replacements, as are the opal and colourless gem, and possibly the brown zircon. The neck is set with a cushion cut amethyst (chipped), a round cabochon cat’s eye gem, possibly chrysoberyl, and a cabochon opal (cracked). The opal is a later replacement. There is a crack through the ivory where these three collets are set. The gold collar is set with a pink tourmaline, a colourless gemstone, possibly rock crystal quartz, a garnet, three pearls, and rose cut diamonds. The garnet is a later replacement. One of the pearls is a cultured pearl, and the nacre is very worn - largely deficient. This pearl is a later replacement. The other two pearls are untested. There is glue visible around most of the later gemstones.
