The artwork, titled “Flamenco,” is a genre painting created by the artist Fernando Botero in 1984. It represents the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement.

The artwork features several figures in a seemingly animated scene. Central to the composition is a woman in a red dress engaged in the passionate expression of Flamenco dance, her hand raised as she wields castanets.

The background includes a man ascending a staircase and an additional figure partially visible behind a curtain. The characters in the piece are depicted with Botero’s signature voluminous forms, lending a distinctive and whimsical quality to the scene, thus capturing a buoyant and lively moment of cultural expression.
