Study of a Male Model – Fernando Botero
Study of a Male Model is a painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured nude man with a moustache sits on a bed beside a stove, with a helmet and armour next to him. We paint our hand-painted study of Study of a Male Model to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 70 cm to 140 × 190 cm or in a custom size. Before Study of a Male Model is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Study of a Male Model show?
In Study of a Male Model a round nude man with a moustache and a hairy chest sits on a bed with a white sheet, legs crossed and a bracelet on his wrist; a golden plumed helmet and a piece of metal armour stand beside him, and smoke rises from a black stove behind him. Botero painted the model who has laid his costume aside with a serious face and irony, which is why Study of a Male Model feels classical and comic at once.
