Petit Bouquet, an oil painting on panel by Barthélemy Franco (1942-?), from the 1960s–1970s in France, signed by hand and sold as an original edition with a frame.
Description from the seller
- Oil on board. Hand-signed. Atelier label on the back.
- On the worn mahogany of the tables, small bouquets of flowers bloom like brief everyday miracles. They are little universes of color and scent that capture the noon light in just a handful of petals. In their fragile presence, the domestic space finds its most humble poetry: the beauty of the everyday halted in a vase.
- Image dimensions without frame: 15 x 22 cm / 24 x 32 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 one-of-a-kind. Each piece in our gallery is the result of 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 basis of our commitment to excellence, and for that reason every painting or sculpture that forms part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replica 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 issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to guarantee the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.
