Vives Maristany (XX) - Nanny

- Oil on cardboard. Hand-signed.

- What can you do, if the morning is clear and the Mediterranean insists on soaking their feet. There they are, walking toward the water’s edge with that air of importance that comes from never having broken a single plate, guarded by an Oxfordshire nanny who watches that the wind doesn’t muss their fringe or disorder their soul. They stroll as if the world were a freshly waxed ballroom, but the beach knows nothing of nobility and the sea is a democrat who knows nothing of surnames. So, between game and game, the impeccable lacework and the silk crepe finally capitulate, yielding to the evident stain of tar and a handful of damp sand. They are the remains of the wreck of a perfect Sunday, where luxury soils itself with brine while they learn, unknowingly, that waves make no distinctions and that happiness, at times, has the color of the mud that sticks to patent-leather shoes.

- Unframed image dimensions: 30 x 20 cm / 40 x 30 cm with exclusive tailor-made frame.

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 is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique 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 granted 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 irrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin and conservation status. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as the author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued at 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 endorsement.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that 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 indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments in 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 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, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided to you at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
