École Française (1950s) - Ma Voisine

- Oil on panel.

- On the canvas, the lush platinum mane catches the last gleams of summer sun, composing a lyrical portrait of that mature, eternally single neighbor who inhabits the limbo between memory and youthful fantasy. In the outdoors-intimate privacy of her garden, her carefree nudity radiates a serene magnetism without urgency, the mark of someone who masters the art of serene seduction and domestic mystery. She is the threshold of first maturity: the enveloping hostess who welcomes the visitor to her wild and warm refuge, weaving a fascinating ambiguity in every gesture and in every shared glass. In that thick, revealing embrace, where almost maternal tenderness and decidedly carnal tension intertwine, it is never entirely clear whether, as we cross the threshold of her home, she opens her arms to console the naïveté of a child or to finally inaugurate the unsettling fullness of a man.

- Dimensions of the unframed image: 60 x 83 cm / 80 x 103 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 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 forms part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Purchasing a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its value both artistically and emotionally. We take pride in offering 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 one-of-a-kind 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 international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique and 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 Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as the 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 sent in digital format and signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

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

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that every 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 the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as 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 proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the work reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the artwork 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 displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be accepted as valid grounds for filing a claim or requesting a cancellation.
