The proportionally embellished young girl is representational of Botero's exaggeration of form. The beholder can be immediately drawn to the round and plump shape of the sculpture enough to want to run a hand over the surfaces. This is a great work or art for anyone who is a Botero enthusiast. She was captured using the age-old method of lost wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for perpetuation. The bronze sculpture is mounted upon a black marble base with the artist Botero's signature.Fernando Botero Angulo (born April 19, 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist, self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on.
