École Espagnole (c. 1900) - Portrait de Garçon

- Oil on board. Painted on the reverse with a bucolic scene.

- This work captures with exceptional mastery the candid emotions of childhood, personified in a smile that overflows the canvas and seems to ignore any artifice. There is no trace here of academic gravity; instead, the painter offers us a portrait of a direct and close humanity, where spontaneous gesture becomes the true protagonist of the composition.

The technique used underlines an exuberant optimism of youth, projected through a warm palette where the yellow shirt acts as a nearly solar light focal point. The brushstroke is confident and impastoed, defining the features with a liveliness that gives the subject a robust physical presence. It is, in essence, a celebration of life in its purest state, a clear presence that uses light not only to model volume but to convey that contagious, unreserved joy typical of someone who contemplates the world with a hope still intact.

- Image dimensions without frame: 28 x 48 cm / 44 x 64 cm with exclusive custom white frame.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the piece and its free circulation internationally.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as possible extraordinary circumstances such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with the shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client's needs and ensuring that the work arrives at its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer's home, it can be displayed immediately on their wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request cancellation.
