Fernando Botero – The widow<\/h1>\n

\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

The Widow \u2013 Fernando Botero<\/h2>\n

The Widow is a 1997 painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured woman in black with a cat in her arms, surrounded by children, beneath a washing line. We paint our hand-painted study of The Widow to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 60 \u00d7 70 cm to 169 \u00d7 203 cm or in a custom size. Before The Widow is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.<\/p>\n

What does The Widow show?<\/h3>\n

In The Widow a full-figured woman in a black dress with a white collar stands in the middle of a modest room with blue walls, holding an orange cat; three children play around her, one pulling at her hand, another busy with an iron at the table, a little girl sitting on the floor with a doll, and a line of colourful washing hangs above them. Botero painted the everyday life of a mother left on her own with tender humour, which is why The Widow feels warm, touching and lively.<\/p>\n

How is our hand-painted study of The Widow made?<\/h3>\n

Our painters paint the study of The Widow 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 Widow has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When The Widow is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.<\/p>\n

Which size of The Widow suits your room?<\/h3>\n

For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose The Widow in 90 \u00d7 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 60 \u00d7 70 cm. The Widow is available in 60 \u00d7 70 cm, 70 \u00d7 85 cm, 80 \u00d7 100 cm, 90 \u00d7 110 cm, 110 \u00d7 130 cm, 130 \u00d7 160 cm, 150 \u00d7 180 cm and 169 \u00d7 203 cm. The 169 \u00d7 203 cm size of The Widow is the size of the original. A simple rule for The Widow: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.<\/p>\n

How does The Widow arrive, and when?<\/h3>\n

We ship The Widow rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed \u2013 you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of The Widow are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of The Widow is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of The Widow painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions about The Widow<\/h3>\n

Is The Widow a print?<\/h4>\n

No. Every brushstroke of The Widow is painted by hand on canvas, so the paint visibly stands up from the surface.<\/p>\n

Can I order The Widow in a size that is not listed?<\/h4>\n

Yes. We also paint The Widow in a custom size; enter the width and height you want when you order The Widow.<\/p>\n

What does The Widow tell?<\/h4>\n

The Widow tells of a mother who looks after the children and the home alone after her husband’s death: the black dress shows her mourning, the washing and the children show that life goes on.<\/p>\n

Is The Widow a good gift?<\/h4>\n

The Widow is a gift for a Botero fan or for a mother who likes art with a story. If you are unsure which size of The Widow to choose, give a gift voucher<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
