Antonie Boubong (1842–1908) - The Baby Beggar

- Oil on canvas. Signed and located.

- The work by the German painter Antonie Boubong (1842–1908) stands out for its technical delicacy and compositional finesse that openly challenged the rigid 19th-century prejudices, a period in which art created by women was relegated to mere amateur pastime. Specialized in portraits of exquisite sensitivity and genre scenes imbued with intimate realism, Boubong demonstrated impeccable academic solidity —training in Stuttgart and Paris— and a masterly command of color and light, virtues that earned her recognition in prestigious international exhibitions and European salons. Her greatest merit lies not only in the poetic elegance with which she captured the psychology of her models and the warmth of everyday environments, but in her bravery to assert herself as an independent professional artist in an era that viewed female creative ambition with suspicion, opening the path with each brushstroke to the following generations of women artists.

- Image dimensions without framing: 30 x 24 cm / 58 x 52 cm with exclusive custom frame.

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 circulation at an international level.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection.

For this, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the entire 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 changes in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments in customs and import tariffs.

Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork arrives at 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, 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 buyer’s home, it can be exhibited immediately on the wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
