Enrique Gil Guerra (1912–1996) - La Fin du Carnaval

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Hand-signed.

- Outside, the clamor of Carnaval fades under the inexorable weight of Ash Wednesday; Lent makes its way through the empty cobblestones, scattering the last devotees of the night and of intoxication. Behind the ajar door, the street tumult becomes a distant echo that cannot disturb the suspended penumbra of the bedroom.

On the bed, the harlequin has abandoned the color blocks and the mask of comedy to surrender to the nakedness of weariness. Stripped of her artifice, and thanks to the impressionist and sensual brushwork of Gil Guerra, she rests like a Renaissance marble sculpted by abandonment, the breath slow and the skin still warm from the revelry’s excess.

- Image dimensions without frame: 70 x 50 cm / 80 x 60 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique, original, and irreproducible. 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 renowned 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 uniqueness. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain both artistic and emotional value.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we collaborate with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the artwork and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, irreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Guarantee Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate confirms that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Guarantee Certificate includes complete details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Guarantee Certificate will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the purchased piece. This document will be sent digitally and signed by a gallery art historian, ensuring its validity and backing.

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

As experts in the logistics of artworks, at Montbaron Gallery we commit to ensuring that each piece arrives safely and in the best possible condition. For this, 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 cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, delivery location changes, 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 accurately based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipment. Our aim is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to each client’s needs and ensuring 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 the seller, and is therefore 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 exhibited immediately on your wall. Accordingly, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as a valid reason for filing a claim or requesting a cancellation.
