Description from the seller
- Oil on cardboard.
- When she faces the strings, the atmosphere tightens like a high-tension cable about to snap. There is no trace of contemplative delicacy; there is a dry, vertical onslaught that compels the bows to bite the mane. The air ionizes with every gesture of her arm, an order that admits no reply and that transforms the musicians' pulse into a pure current of volts. It is a lash of authority that runs through the auditorium, making it clear that the sound does not flow, but is fired under her fist.
- Unframed image dimensions: 24 x 30 cm / 35 x 40 cm with exclusive custom frame.
At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original, and unrepeatable. Every piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, features that guarantee its authenticity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replica, 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 it is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.
