Bullfighting Scene Gouache on paper
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Title: Bullfighting Scene
Artist: Roberto Domingo
Technique: Gouache on paper
Dimensions: 7 x 10 in (14 x 17.3 in with frame)
Period: 1930s
Style: Spanish Impressionism with Post-Impressionist influence
Condition: Framed in a classic wooden frame
Theme: Bullfighting scene
Description of the Artwork
"Bullfighting Scene" by Roberto Domingo is a vibrant and dynamic depiction of a typical moment in a bullring. The composition captures the drama and intensity of the moment, with a mounted picador on a striking white horse as the centerpiece, flanked by a matador and assistants preparing for the spectacle. The artwork radiates energy through swift and loose brushstrokes, imbuing the scene with movement and vitality.
Domingo’s style emphasizes visual synthesis, focusing on color and form rather than meticulous detail to convey the atmosphere of the bullfighting arena. Warm tones dominate, with vibrant yellows and reds contrasting against the grays and whites of the horse and costumes, creating a captivating chromatic interplay.
The classic frame adds sobriety and balance to the piece, further highlighting the expressive power of the gouache.
Biography of the Artist
Roberto Domingo Fallola (1883-1956), born in Paris, was a renowned painter and illustrator of Spanish descent. The son of the celebrated bullfighting painter Vicente Domingo, he inherited a passion for bullfights and became one of the leading exponents of bullfighting art...

Original 1932 aquarelle titled Le Candidat et les Électeurs by F. Robbe
Located in PARIS, FR
A whimsical and pointed piece of political satire, this original 1932 aquarelle titled Le Candidat et les Électeurs ("The Candidate and the Voters") by F. Robbe transforms the political stage into a witty animal allegory.
Drawn in expressive black ink and watercolor wash, the scene depicts a parrot—perched high, wearing a top hat, and clutching a rolled-up speech—addressing an eager flock of birds below. With beaks open wide, the ‘electors’ appear to hang on every word of the charismatic, if cartoonish, orator. It's a visual metaphor brimming with irony, capturing the timeless performance of politics: showmanship, repetition, and the crowd’s fervor.
Signed “F. Robbe, 32”, this work encapsulates the interwar period’s sharp sense of humor and skepticism toward authority. Its monochrome palette only enhances the theatrical drama and expressive character design, reminiscent of 19th-century French caricature artists like Daumier or Grandville, yet rendered in a distinctly 20th-century modernist spirit.
Measuring small in size but large in statement, this is a rare surviving piece of illustrated political commentary. Whether you're drawn to its historical charm, anthropomorphic cleverness, or satirical tone, this little gem remains a delightful reflection on democratic rituals—and their absurdities.
A unique acquisition for collectors of early 20th-century illustration, political art, or vintage French ephemera...

"Golden Miller Winning The 1934 Aintree Grand National" Watercolor by Paul Brown
Located in Bristol, CT
Watercolor w/ gouache highlights
Art Sz: 12"H x 18"W
Frame Sz: 16"H x 22 1/2"W
(SIGNED LL)
Inscribed LL: The Freshest thing to win a National in years- and he broke the record at that. Golden Miller wins in 9:20 2/5 1934
Golden Miller (1927–1957) was a Thoroughbred racehorse who is the most successful Cheltenham Gold Cup horse ever, winning the race in five consecutive years between 1932 and 1936. He also is the only horse to win both of the United Kingdom's premier steeplechase races - the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National - in the same year (1934).
Golden Miller was trained by Basil Briscoe in Longstowe, Cambridgeshire and owned by Dorothy Paget, who was the British flat racing Champion Owner in 1943, and the leading National Hunt owner in 1933-34, 1940–41 and 1951-52.
In 1931, Golden Miller made his steeplechasing debut at Newbury Racecourse where he finished first, only to be disqualified for carrying incorrect weight. On 30 December, he won the Reading Chase before winning the Sefton Steeplechase on 20 January 1932.
In 1933, as a six-year-old and winner of two Cheltenham Gold Cups, he started as the 9/1 favourite in the Grand National but fell at the Canal Turn.
In the 1934 Grand National win, he set a new course record of 9 min 20.4s for Aintree. This victory was the middle of five consecutive Gold Cup victories, a Gold Cup record.[2]
He retired in 1939 with a record of 29 wins from 52 races. He is buried at Elsenham Stud, a working farm in Elsenham, West Essex.
Artist Bio:
Paul Desmond Brown (1893-1958) was born in Minnesota and soon moved to New York City with his family. A quote from his biography: "Paul Brown told his host on a radio interview held in September of 1956, 'One day in 1904, I got 50 cents someplace and went over to the National Horse Show at the old Madison Square Garden and saw 'fine leppers,' [a term used for jumpers] as we called them, and Thoroughbreds for the first time.' From then on he appeared to be hooked on drawing horses."
At the age of 17, his family relocated again to Garden City on Long Island, where Brown had the opportunity to explore polo grounds...

Frank Duffield (British, 1908-1982)
original watercolor painting on thick artist paper, unframed
size: 10.5 x 11.5 inches
condition: overall very good, minor wear to the edges as is normal for an unframed work, minor staining from age/ light to the surface
provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work in the UK
The artist:
Born in Warwick in 1901, Duffield came to Bristol at the age of 23 as an artist at the studio of Mardon Son and Hall. He worked as an illustrator producing designs for cigarette cards, remaining with the company for 37 years until his retirement. He was elected an Artist Member of the Bristol Savages in 1946. He was an extremely keen and regular attender not only in the studio but at all other Savage functions. He was noted for his friendly demeanour and seldom seen without a pipe in his mouth. He was a good pianist and would play popular tunes after the Wednesday evenings’ entertainment for members to join in singing and always with his pipe in his mouth. In 1965 he was commissioned by the Gloucester Regiment to paint a portrait of Brigadier Manley Angell James, VC, DSO, MBE, MC, a Bristol man who won his VC during the first World War. The painting is now in the Imperial War Museum. Frank was made a Life Member in 1973 and died in 1982.
Frank Duffiled was a member of the artist group, known as "The Bristol Savages":
Founded in 1894 by Ernest Ehlers, he invited his fellow Bristol based artists to spend a friendly evening in his studio to work and talk. At first, meetings were held in their private studios, then as their numbers grew, in rented premises. By 1904 this led to the official founding of the Bristol Savages and the holding ever since, of similar weekly meetings between October and May each year. In 1905 the first exhibition of paintings was held at the premises of George Nichols & Co., an auctioneer in Broad Street, Bristol. During the next 14 years exhibitions were held annually in Bristol and their first permanent home was Brandon Cottage which was made available to them through the good offices of fellow member James Fuller Eberle. When the Red Lodge...
