École Européene (XX) - Le Regard du Sphynx

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- At the threshold of the eternal sands, the Sphinx rises not as a stone guardian but as a presence of unbearable beauty that devours will with the mere fixed gaze of its countenance. Its eyes, two abysses of topaz where the time of dead dynasties has stagnated, unfold an inquisitive look that seeks not answers, but dissects the nakedness of the soul under the weight of an enigma prior to language. There is in its grimace a cruel harmony, a mineral perfection that freezes the blood while fascinating the senses; it is the magnet of the absolute that draws the traveler toward a vortex of clairvoyance and death.

- Image dimensions without frame: 80 x 60 cm / 90 x 70 cm with exclusive bespoke frame.

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 indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

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

This certificate attests that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin and conservation status. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as its 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 signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.
