Bronze sculpture 'Woman Smoking', by Botero. Signed.

Beautiful bronze sculpture Smoking Woman, which is a scale reproduction of the original sculpture made by Fernando Botero. The original work was sold in Christies in 2009, and its value rose to above one million dollars. This reproduction is not numerated, but it is signed. Made in polished brown-golden bronze, it is a nice representation of the style of the Colombian sculptors works. The figure depicts a naked woman, laying down and smoking. It is a faithful reflection of Boteros style and a typical theme in his work. The bronze is softly polished and the light reflects on it, highlighting the volumes and relieves of the sculpture. Fernando Boteros sculptures, for example this fine piece, are distorted representations or the real which investigate themes like the volume and the relations between different parts of the body (it can be human beings, animals or objects). Nowadays he is the most esteemed live sculptor, which means that this lovely work is quite a valuable object and a very decorative piece.
