$1029.51

Wonderful work of the grandmaster Luis Taberner and Montalvo (1844 - 1900). This is one of the last works of the Madrid artist, who died only 4 years after painting it. It stands out both for its quality and beauty and for the exceptionality of the theme and material. This part in oil on porcelain was used in some important inn or inn of the time as a presentation of the Letter, a clear reflection of good taste and importance in reflecting every detail of everyday life in an elegant and distinguished way.

Shows in the center right a cook preparing a delicious stew, over a beautiful typography of Menu, all delimited in a central T-shaped frame, leaving the left margin to place the name of the dishes cooked on the day that the most select customers in Madrid will have tasted since 1896. The fragility of the porcelain vitrea adds importance to this work; just imagining the day to day of a restaurant it seems incredible that it has survived and that now, after more than 120 years, we can enjoy it and who knows, maybe...show you delicious dishes from your menu again.
