Miguel Laguna Alhambra Taracea Framed Print — "Surrender of Granada," Boabdil &
A Granadan souvenir print set within a handcrafted taracea (marquetry) surround by the workshop of Miguel Laguna, Taller de Taracea, Real de la Alhambra 30, Granada, Spain. The lithographed image depicts the surrender of Granada in 1492 — Boabdil, last Nasrid emir, mounted on a black horse handing the keys of the city to Ferdinand and Isabella as the Alhambra rises on the hillside behind. The inner border is built from geometric bands of inlaid bone and rosewood in the traditional Andalusian technique, ringed by a black leather-textured mat and an antiqued gilt-and-black outer frame.
Taracea is Granada's signature craft, descended from the Moorish decorative tradition and worked by Alhambra-adjacent ateliers for generations. The verso carries the maker's foil label ("Recuerdo de Granada — Hecho a Mano") and the Artesanía Granadina / Miguel Laguna paper label, dating the piece to the late 20th century. The art panel itself is a lithograph, not an original painting, matted and glazed with amateur hand-matting behind glass.
CONDITION
Good overall. The taracea inlay is intact with tight geometric banding; light wear to the antiqued gilt outer frame consistent with age. Matting is amateur work behind glass. Maker's labels present on the verso.
