AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
B. Ballester (attributed) – Set of 6 Spanish decorative horse panels – signed – second half of the 20th century
Lot description
Fine and decorative set of six interconnected horse depictions, attributed to the Spanish artist B. Ballester. All works are executed in the same style, featuring identical framing and forming a harmonious whole.
The panels show various horse portraits and scenes with galloping horses, rendered in warm earth tones with a lively and expressive appearance. Each work bears a handwritten signature and is finished with a glossy protective layer, giving the colors extra depth and a characteristic look.
The works are created on panel and represent the popular Spanish decorative art from the second half of the twentieth century. The combination of the horse motif, uniform presentation, and meticulous finish makes this series particularly suitable for a classic, country, hunting, or equestrian interior.
Although the works are signed and attributed to B. Ballester, they are offered as decorative artworks. The technique appears to be a combination of a high-quality reproduction base with manual artistic finishing and varnish, as was common in Spanish ateliers of this period.
