Seated Woman – Fernando Botero
Seated Woman is a 1976 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured nude woman with black hair and red nails sits on a red stool before a violet curtain. We paint our hand-painted study of Seated Woman to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 60 cm to 152 × 193 cm or in a custom size. Before Seated Woman is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Seated Woman show?
In Seated Woman a round nude woman with black hair pinned high, crossed legs and red nails sits on a red velvet stool, holding a cigarette in one hand; a heavy violet curtain opens beside a pink wall behind her, and a man’s hand reaches into the picture from the right. Botero painted a self-assured woman with full forms and a calm gaze, which is why Seated Woman feels calm, lavish and quietly ironic.
How is our hand-painted study of Seated Woman made?
Our painters paint the study of Seated Woman 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 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Seated Woman is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Seated Woman suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Seated Woman in 90 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 50 × 60 cm. Seated Woman is available in 50 × 60 cm, 60 × 75 cm, 70 × 90 cm, 80 × 100 cm, 90 × 110 cm, 110 × 140 cm, 130 × 165 cm and 152 × 193 cm. The 152 × 193 cm size of Seated Woman is the size of the original. A simple rule for Seated Woman: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Seated Woman arrive, and when?
We ship Seated Woman 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 Seated Woman are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Seated Woman is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Seated Woman painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
