AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Restorations. Possible work by the British painter George Armfield (1808-1893)

- With an exquisite brushstroke that showcases impeccable detail, and evident mastery of earth tones and browns, the artist sets up a banal dispute, to which he lends an epic background. Like three gods who divide the world, three hounds, without taking their hungry eyes off the tasty banquet that is a dead rat, debate who should keep the prey. The negotiations, however, seem to have reached a deadlock.

- Dimensions of the image without a frame: 60 x 50 cm / 80 x 70 cm with exclusive flamenco-style custom frame.

- Montbaron Gallery attaches a technical datasheet prepared by an art historian titled for all its lots. This datasheet is sent in digital format and on demand.

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, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by renowned 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 uniqueness. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning a one-of-a-kind piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its artistic and emotional value.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replicas, 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 this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation at an international level.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Guarantee Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. The Guarantee Certificate includes full details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Guarantee Certificate will be issued upon request by the client, 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.

As experts in the logistics of artworks, at Montbaron Gallery we are 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 transportation, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transportation market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import duties.

Our aim is to offer the best possible service, tailored 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 extra cost so that, when the artwork 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 work will not be accepted as valid grounds to open a claim or request a cancellation.
