Violin on the Chair – Fernando Botero
Violin on the Chair is a 2000 painting by Fernando Botero: a round red violin with its bow resting on a wooden chair in front of an open window. We paint our hand-painted study of Violin on the Chair to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 55 cm to 130 × 180 cm or in a custom size. Before Violin on the Chair is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Violin on the Chair show?
In Violin on the Chair a plain wooden chair with a violet cushion holds a large, round red-brown violin leaning against it, with the bow beside it; behind, through an open window with a green shutter and a flowered curtain, you see red roofs and a church tower. Botero gave objects his typical fullness too, which is why Violin on the Chair feels warm, quiet and gently humorous.
How is our hand-painted study of Violin on the Chair made?
Our painters paint the study of Violin on the Chair 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 Violin on the Chair has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Violin on the Chair is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
