- Image dimensions without frame: 30 x 45 cm / 38 x 54 cm with exclusive custom frame.
At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all 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 recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the basis 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 the creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. 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 issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.
Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each 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 upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the purchased piece. This document will be delivered in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each 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 transport who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs listed in the advertisement 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 to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipping. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to each client’s needs and ensuring the work 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 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 the client’s home, it can be displayed immediately on their wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as valid grounds for a claim or cancellation.
