The Bathroom 2 – Fernando Botero
The Bathroom 2 is a 2001 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured nude woman with long black hair stands in a yellow-tiled bathroom holding a violet towel. We paint our hand-painted study of The Bathroom 2 to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 130 × 200 cm or in a custom size. Before The Bathroom 2 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does The Bathroom 2 show?
In The Bathroom 2 a round nude woman with long dark hair and a hairband stands on a pink rug, holding a violet towel in one hand and touching her breast with the other, with yellow and orange tiles behind her and the rim of the bathtub on the right. Botero caught an intimate moment after the bath in soft forms and warm colours, which is why The Bathroom 2 feels tender, calm and a little mischievous.
How is our hand-painted study of The Bathroom 2 made?
Our painters paint the study of The Bathroom 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 The Bathroom 2 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When The Bathroom 2 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of The Bathroom 2 suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose The Bathroom 2 in 70 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 60 cm. The Bathroom 2 is available in 40 × 60 cm, 50 × 75 cm, 70 × 110 cm, 80 × 120 cm, 90 × 140 cm, 100 × 150 cm, 114 × 171 cm and 130 × 200 cm. The 114 × 171 cm size of The Bathroom 2 is the size of the original. A simple rule for The Bathroom 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 The Bathroom 2 arrive, and when?
We ship The Bathroom 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 The Bathroom 2 are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of The Bathroom 2 is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of The Bathroom 2 painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
