Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.
- This impeccable mid-20th-century expressionist portrait seems to seek to capture, in its multifaceted depiction of an elderly person confined to a wheelchair, the way the passage of years overlays the human face, layer by layer. This stark testament to the grim reality of aging elevates to the highest expression a vibrant, truthful brushstroke.
- Image dimensions without frame: 53 x 64 cm / 57 x 68 cm with a beautiful custom-made frame.
- Montbaron Gallery attaches a technical data sheet prepared by an art historian, titled for all its lots. This sheet is sent in digital format and on demand.
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—features 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 cornerstone of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning a one-of-a-kind piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain both its artistic and emotional value. We take pride in offering 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 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 issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable 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 each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and state of conservation. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as its author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued at the client's request, providing an official reference for the piece purchased. 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 confidence of our clients, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.
As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we commit to ensuring that each piece arrives at 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 the utmost 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 transport market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs.

Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs and ensuring the work reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.
