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

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Hand signed.

- Outside, the ruckus of Carnival dies down under the inexorable weight of Ash Wednesday; Lent carves a path through the empty cobblestones, scattering the last worshippers of the night and of intoxication. Behind the half-open door, the street tumult becomes a distant echo that fails to disturb the suspended gloom of the bedroom.

On the bed, the harlequin has left behind the color tones and the mask of comedy to surrender to the naked fatigue. Stripped of her artifices, and thanks to Gil Guerra’s impressionist and sensuous brush, she rests like a Renaissance marble carved by abandonment, with slow breathing and skin still warm from the excess of revelry.

- 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 of them unique, original, and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, traits 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 foundation 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 creativity and talent which, over time, will preserve its value both artistically and emotionally. 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 leaving 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 this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery commits 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 Warranty Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and state of conservation. The Warranty Certificate includes full details about the piece, such as author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Warranty Certificate will be issued at the client's request, 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.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be handled professionally and promptly. To request your Warranty Certificate, please contact us through our usual channels.

As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are dedicated to ensuring that every piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transportation, who guarantee maximum care throughout the entire process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices listed in the advertisement are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in the transport market, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in 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 shipping proceeds. Our aim is to offer the best possible service, adapting 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 by 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. Consequently, frame damage that does not affect the integrity of the work will not be considered a valid reason to file a complaint or request a cancellation.
