Saint Cecilia and King David, pair of oil paintings on glass from the end of the 18th century. The two saints are associated with music, Saint Cecilia (patron saint of musicians) plays the organ and King David the harp. Curious technique of execution with mercury on glass to make the organ pipes, where the metal tubes reflect like a mirror.
The painting of King David is in excellent condition, the painting of Saint Cecilia is good (some lack of color).
