Seated Woman 2 – Fernando Botero
Seated Woman 2 is a 1997 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured nude woman with a pearl necklace sits on a bed before a pink curtain, touching her hair. We paint our hand-painted study of Seated Woman 2 to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 7 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 110 × 160 cm or in a custom size. Before Seated Woman 2 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Seated Woman 2 show?
In Seated Woman 2 a round nude woman with dark hair, a green ribbon and a long pearl necklace sits on a bed with a white sheet and a green cover, legs crossed; she raises one hand to her hair and leans on the bed with the other, while a bright pink curtain hangs behind her. Botero painted a self-assured woman with full forms and a calm gaze, which is why Seated Woman 2 feels warm, calm and a little mischievous.
How is our hand-painted study of Seated Woman 2 made?
Our painters paint the study of Seated Woman 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 Seated Woman 2 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. The first photograph shows how Seated Woman 2 looks framed on a grey wall above a white bed, and the second photograph shows our finished study in a gold frame on the easel among frame samples. When Seated Woman 2 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
