École française (XX) - Tristesse

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- This childhood portrait captures the essence of a gaze that still knows no artifices, reminding us why artists have always sought in the purity and candor of children an emotional truth unattainable by the adult world. It is a celebration of unfiltered honesty, where the serenity of the face becomes the mirror of a soul whose authenticity transcends any social convention.

- Image dimensions unframed: 38 x 46 cm / 48 x 56 cm with exclusive custom framing.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery results from 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 recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that forms part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irreplaceable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain both its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work leaving 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 authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and confidence in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate confirms that the purchased artwork has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as the author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

We are committed to the satisfaction and trust of our clients, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be answered in a professional and diligent manner. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in artwork logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are dedicated to ensuring that every 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 the greatest care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in the transport market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the artwork, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations 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 in advance before proceeding with the shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork 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, and is therefore not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, frame damage that does not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as grounds for a claim or for canceling.
