Dancers 2 – Fernando Botero
Dancers 2 is a 2000 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured couple in a red dress and a dark suit turning under party lights. We paint our hand-painted study of Dancers 2 to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 122 × 185 cm or in a custom size. Before Dancers 2 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Dancers 2 show?
Dancers 2 shows a woman in a bright red dress with a big pink bow at her back dancing with a man in a dark suit, who holds her hand and closes his eyes dreamily; coloured light bulbs hang above them, an orange curtain behind, and a bottle lies tipped over on the floor. With serious faces and full bodies Botero catches the joy of a late-night party, which is why Dancers 2 feels warm and witty.
How is our hand-painted study of Dancers 2 made?
Our painters paint the study of Dancers 2 by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Dancers 2 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Dancers 2 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Dancers 2 suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Dancers 2 in 70 × 100 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 60 cm. Dancers 2 is available in 40 × 60 cm, 50 × 75 cm, 60 × 90 cm, 70 × 100 cm, 80 × 120 cm, 90 × 140 cm, 100 × 150 cm and 122 × 185 cm. The 122 × 185 cm size of Dancers 2 is the size of the original. A simple rule for Dancers 2: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Dancers 2 arrive, and when?
We ship Dancers 2 rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Dancers 2 are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Dancers 2 is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Dancers 2 painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
Frequently asked questions about Dancers 2

Can I order Dancers 2 in a size that is not listed?
Yes. We also paint Dancers 2 in a custom size; enter the width and height you want when you order Dancers 2.
How is Dancers 2 different from Dancers?
