École Française (1950s) - La Parisienne

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- Jean-Gabriel Domergue invented the modern Parisian on the canvas, but above all he crystallized an archetype of seduction that left an indelible mark on commercial graphics and fashion in the 20th century. His women —slender, with endlessly long Swan necks, feline gazes, and a chaste yet brazen eroticism— transcended painting to become the visual emblem of the Roaring Twenties and late Belle Époque. That trail of stylized sensuality, which blended the sophisticated elegance of the boulevards with a playful coquettishness, gave rise to the concept of the Parisian poupée that would later feed haute couture illustration, luxury magazine covers, and even the era’s cinematic imagination. In every swift stroke and theatrical use of color, Domergue not only portrayed the celebrities and courtesans of his time, but also bequeathed an timeless aesthetic fetish: the myth of French elegance as a continuous act of coquettishness, mystery, and refined provocation.

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 work’s authenticity and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unreproducible works of art, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and confidence in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the purchased 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 author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions.

This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and support.

We are committed to the satisfaction and confidence of our clients, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the artwork will be addressed professionally and promptly. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches 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 process. It is important to note that the shipping costs indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in 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. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs, ensuring the artwork arrives 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, so it 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, frame damage that does not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation.
