Monique Lemoine (c. 1950) - Baby Doll

- Oil on cardboard. Signed by hand.

- Wrapped in a haze of pastel tones — where the vanity pinks lazily melt with pearly grays and dreamlike blues — the silhouette of the small dancer emerges like a sigh of gauze and silk, floating in an exquisitely aristocratic indolence. Her eyes, two charcoal almonds with bottomless liquid depth, look at the viewer with that chic melancholy and falsely ingenuous naivety so typical of Marie Laurencin’s muses; a languor heightened by the languid waist of her tutu and the invisible touch of a satin bow that hints at being perfumed with violet water.

- Image dimensions without frame: 30 x 48 cm / 40 x 57 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. 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 recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation 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 an unreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its value both artistically and emotionally. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through truly authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves 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 granted 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 proves that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. 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 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 experts in the logistics of artworks, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed 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 change 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 fees. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the customer will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork arrives quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the piece by a third party or by the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided to you at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be immediately displayed on your wall. Accordingly, no frame damage will be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation unless it affects the integrity of the work.
