AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- On the worn wooden rug, where time seems to have sedimented in the form of golden dust, rests a still life that is a sanctuary to absences. Among the leather spines of old books — guardians of silences and wisdom that no one claims anymore — a sigh of color peeks through the dimness: the melancholic blue of an envelope on which the word “Madrid,” traced with a handwriting of ink and nostalgia, beats with the force of a distant destiny. By its side, a cartridge of forgotten coins suggests the mundane price of travel, a terrestrial contrast to the sacred mysticism of the written word.

- Image dimensions without frame: 90 x 70 cm / 105 x 84 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 one-of-a-kind. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, qualities 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 basis of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that forms part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work leaving our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replicas whatsoever, 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.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection.

Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs, ensuring the work arrives safely and promptly without surprises.
