Felt tip pen on paper - Signed and Inscribed

Fernando Botero’s Profile de Jeune Homme is a simple yet elegant pen and ink drawing that captures the profile of a young man. The artwork, drawn with felt-tip pen, exemplifies Botero’s signature style, known for his depiction of voluminous figures. In this piece, the profile is minimal, with a focus on the contour of the face and the curly hair, creating a sense of fullness even with the limited use of line. The inscription beneath the drawing adds a personal touch, enhancing the intimate nature of the work. Signed and dated, this piece is a testament to Botero’s ability to convey character and form with simplicity and grace.

Fernando Botero (Colombia, 1932–2023) was a renowned artist known for his distinctive 'Boterismo' style, characterized by exaggerated, voluminous forms. His paintings and sculptures often depicted whimsical yet critical scenes of everyday life, politics, and religion, blending humor with social commentary. Botero’s works are celebrated for their unique blend of color, form, and satire.

An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why.
- Fernando Botero

Known for his instantly-recognisable, signature style labelled ‘Boterismo’ - a depiction of figures and people in a large, exaggerated fashion and a representation of both humour and socio-political criticism - Fernando Botero was one of the most successful artists of Latin America. His employment of flat, bright colours alongside distinctly outlined forms was heavily influenced by traditional Latin-America folk art, as well as the works of Francisco de Goya and Diego Velazquez; one of Botero’s most celebrated works is Mona Lisa, Age 12 a paraphrasing of Leonardo da Vinci’s original work with a twist that alluded to the aforementioned Goya and Velazquez. Botero captured the various walks of life to be found in his native Colombia throughout his work in sculpture and painting; Card Players and Death of Pablo Escobar are among the most celebrated of his artistic creations.
