Anna Botkoveli (1960) - Le Déjeuner

- Oil on board. Hand-signed. Gallery card on the back.

- Time seemed to suspend its ordinary course on the garden table, where the remnants of breakfast, far from being cleared away, became the strata of a morning devoured by indolence. That conversation, woven with the invisible threads of subtle irrelevance —the exact tone of the light on a remembered windowsill, the quirks of a common acquaintance, or the way the air carried the scent of damp boxwood— lingered without hurry, for in the lightness of the trivial we found a refuge from the rush of the outside world. Between laughter softened by the gentle rustle of leaves, the porcelain cups, still warm and stained by a dark coffee sediment, continued alongside the crumbs of toast and the half-open jars of jam, prolonging that mental daydream where the memory of the first morning slowly dissolved into the stillness of an imminent noon.

Almost insensitively, as the light that imperceptibly shifts its inclination over the linen tablecloth, the clinking of silver on the plate yielded to the crystalline cold of the heavy glassware. Without anyone having given the explicit order to conclude the initial lunch, the now-cold coffee maker found itself surrounded by the golden transparency of white wine.

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 movement internationally.

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 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 complete details about the piece, such as its author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued at the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece.

It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances, including variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as potential extraordinary circumstances such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs.

Accordingly, no damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
