Description from the seller

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Exquisite impasto.

- Exquisite mid-20th-century vanitas featuring the flasks, bottles, and tools that serve as vehicles for chemical elements, with an elegant and austere impressionist brushstroke. The economy of the backgrounds does not prevent a rich development of colors and textures, which stops at the rounded contours of the pipettes and containers, refracting colored liquids and impossible refractions on the sterile white enamel table surface.

- Image dimensions without frame: 80 x 61 cm / 96 x 75 cm with magnificent frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique, original, and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery results from 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 recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture in our collection is carefully selected to ensure its uniqueness. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irreplicable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that over time will retain both its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer 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 leaving our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a showcase of 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 international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every 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 confirms that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and state of conservation. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete 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.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, so any doubt 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 experts in art logistics, Montbaron Gallery is committed to ensuring that every piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the entire process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations 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 to 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 artwork reaches 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 at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.

We encourage you to bid with confidence on pieces from our gallery. Each work we offer is original, unique, and unrepeatable, selected with the utmost care and authenticity. Whether you are looking for a piece to enrich your personal collection or to add exceptional value to your space, Montbaron Gallery offers you a secure and transparent platform to place your bid easily and professionally. Art auctions are the perfect place to discover works that could become the heart of your collection. Here, you are not just acquiring art; you are investing in something that will grow in value over time, both aesthetically and culturally. Montbaron Gallery pieces not only reflect the talent of established artists, but also have the power to transform spaces and enrich lives. Do not miss this opportunity to be part of something unique. Bidding on a Montbaron Gallery work is more than a transaction; it is an act of appreciation for art in its purest form. We invite you to bid with passion and join us on this exciting journey of discovery and celebration of art. Your next favorite work awaits you!
