École Française (c. 1970) - Le Souvenir Parfumé de ton Regard

- Oil on masonite.

- There it is again, perched in its golden frame, the phantasmagorical queen of my sentimental shipwreck, showing the shoulder and that shameless chest as if time and inflation didn’t apply to her. Look at her: a lost look like a drunk Pierrot, cheeks stained with cheap blush and a little blouse unbuttoned that is pure provocation for a soul in bankruptcy. Every Monday I spend my last francs on a bouquet of violet thistles for her green-green vase — fresh flowers for the patron saint of disaster! — just to be able to sit across from the desk, light a filthy cigarette, and dedicate to her the midnight liturgical reproach: “Give back my best years, harpy with a thick line, for in your wake poetry has turned sour and my pension doesn’t even cover ordinary wine!”

- Unframed image dimensions: 73 x 92 cm / 82 x 101 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique, original, and one-of-a-kind. 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 is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Owning a work from Montbaron Gallery means possessing an irreplaceable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that over time will preserve its artistic and emotional value.

Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replica, and a demonstration of 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 a 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 irreplaceable works of art, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, 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 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 customer’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent digitally and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and support.

We are committed to the satisfaction and confidence of our clients, so any questions about the authenticity or 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 the logistics of artworks, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that 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 costs shown in the advertisement are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transportation market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping price will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the customer will always be informed in advance before shipment proceeds. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to each client’s needs and ensuring the work arrives at its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the preceding 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 displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, frame damages that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as grounds for a claim or cancellation.
