Purchase a work

To acquire a work is very easy: click on “Reserve” under the painting(s) you wish to order, and then validate your reservation.

This reservation is free and does not imply any commitment from your part.

Of course, it does not make any sense to reserve a work if you do not want to buy it!

Once we have received your reservation, three possibilities may occur:

1. The work is available in stock: we send you a bill by e-mail. As soon as we get the money on our account (it is immediate if you proceed through PayPal) we deliver you your order within 24 to 48 hours maximum.
   -or-
2. The work is deliverable, but is not available in stock anymore: we indicate to you the approximate delivery time and send you a first bill for 20% of the total price of the work. Once we get the work in stock again, we send you a second bill for the remaining 80% of the total amount. To be able to send you your order we must have received your payment for both bills.
   -or-
3. The work is not deliverable at all. You are informed quickly, and as the reservation is free, you do not owe us anything.
