Trumeau mirror of the colonial school, 18th century. Scene painted in oil on canvas. Mirror, wood and gilded plaster. Original mirror preserved. Frame with slight lack of polychromy. The canvas needs to be stretched and cleaned. Measurements: 88 x 62 cm (oil); 150 x 74 cm (frame). Rectangular mirror thin in its width arranged in two areas thanks to some mouldings that frame both parts and in which there are carved vegetal elements. At the top, a figure in European dress colonises a native s land. The local native, a dark-skinned figure, kneels before the foreigner while holding out his hands in reverence. The trumeau mirror originated in 18th century France, and owes its name to the place for which it was intended, the space between two windows. This situation multiplied the light in the room, both because of the reflections of the mirrored surface and because of the gilt carvings that often decorated the frames, which glittered in the light. This type of mirror is usually rectangular, and usually has an ornamental area at the top, which is higher than the mirror surface.
