Looks like a painting of a sort, "asetelma" in Finnish. I think.

Yeah, that's what I thought it'd be.

"Still lifes" sounds about right.

Thanks for everyone (except Kev whose post was, as usual, useless )

Entre otros, se verán bodegones y paisajes, que son temas muy típicos de Esa Riippa.

His engravings are often still lifes and landscapes, which are very typical subjects to Esa Riippa.

It's a very liberal translation. The reason I needed this is not that exciting, my parents bought Tom's parents a graphic by Esa Riippa, who is a leading Finnish graphics artist (happens to be a friend of my dad's). My mum wanted something in English to give to the artist to sign, and then to give to Tom's parents so that they'd understand the context. Unfortunately there's nothing really available in English, and the best text I could find was in Spanish. I used the auto-translate, and then basically re-wrote it in English. Bodegones was the only word I couldn't figure out (although looking at his graphics, it wouldn't have been that hard to guess....).
