Modern bronze sculpture - Portly lady - Fernando Botero

This Modern Art bronze sculpture is a creation of the incomparable Colombian artist and sculptor Fernando Botero. It pictures a portly lady in her finest dress. The bronze is worked very in detail, so for example the clutch bag, the umbrella or the hair of the lady seem very illustrative. The figure of the woman is set on a polished tall marble plinth. The beautiful to behold sculpture consists of 100% finest bronze and is of course signed by its creator Botero.

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
