Seated Woman, 2003
This is a key example of Fernando Botero’s sculptural language, defined by its celebration of volume and sensual form. Cast in polished bronze, the seated figure conveys serenity and quiet grandeur, her rounded proportions and poised stillness embodying the artist’s pursuit of harmony through exaggeration. The composition reveals Botero’s refined balance between monumentality and intimacy, transforming mass into a graceful meditation on the human body. In its confident stillness, Seated Woman encapsulates the warmth, dignity, and universal beauty that have made Botero’s work instantly recognizable worldwide.
On the market, Botero’s bronze sculptures—particularly his female figures— are among the most sought-after pieces within his oeuvre. Comparable Seated Woman pieces have achieved strong results in recent years, consistently exceeding estimates and demonstrating notably stable prices. Nude female sculptures of similar scale outperform even the artist’s iconic horses, confirming collector preference for this subject. With sustained global demand and limited availability of high-quality bronzes, Seated Woman represents both a distinguished work of art and a solid investment opportunity within a resilient segment of the modern sculpture market.
