Fernando Botero – The Dancers, 1983 – Lithograph

Edition from the rare limited deluxe edition of Z - Original lithograph on paper - In excellent condition - Hand signed by Botero

'The Dancers' by Fernando Botero is a 1983 lithograph measuring 43.2 × 30.5 cm, hand-signed in pencil in the lower right margin. Two voluminous figures — a woman in a pale blue dress and heeled shoes, her dark hair pinned with a flower, and a mustachioed man in a brown suit and hat — embrace mid-dance against a draped blue curtain. The rendering is characteristic of 'Boterismo', Botero's signature style in which mass and roundness are applied equally to figures, clothing, and objects, flattening social hierarchy through physical exaggeration. Born in Medellín, Colombia, Botero used this vocabulary to navigate between folk celebration and quiet satire, and the dancing couple sits squarely in that tradition — festive on the surface, monumental in form.
