Woman in the Bathroom – Fernando Botero
Woman in the Bathroom is a 2000 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured woman with a blue towel, looking calmly back at us. We paint our hand-painted study of Woman in the Bathroom to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 130 × 190 cm or in a custom size. Before Woman in the Bathroom is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Woman in the Bathroom show?
Woman in the Bathroom shows a nude, full-figured woman with long black hair, red earrings and red-painted nails, holding a blue towel to her body. Behind her are white tiles and a yellow wall, and she wears a small gold watch on her wrist. Botero paints his figures full and calm, with gentle humour, which is why Woman in the Bathroom feels intimate and cheerful at once.
How is our hand-painted study of Woman in the Bathroom made?
Our painters paint the study of Woman in the Bathroom 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 Woman in the Bathroom has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Woman in the Bathroom is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
