Description from the seller
- Oil on cardboard.
- It is an oil dream that hits you straight in the gut, a vision of that languid wheat-haired beauty, pure dynamite, like Marlene Dietrich, leaning toward you with the fatal speed of an express train. There are no words, only the hum of blood; she closes her eyes, renouncing the entire world, to press her lips to yours in a kiss that tastes of gin, expensive tobacco, and all the sins we have yet to have the courage to commit. It is a sensory assault, an absolute surrender where time stands still and the painting becomes flesh, inviting you to lose yourself in that abyss of savage passion before reality slaps us awake.
- Image dimensions without frame: 48 x 64 cm / 70 x 85 cm with exclusive custom frame.
At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique, original, and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by renowned artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and for that reason every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.
Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the artwork’s authenticity and its free international circulation.
