The artwork titled “Marie Antoinette” was created by Fernando Botero in 1968. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre of portrait.
The artwork depicts a rotund woman, presumably Marie Antoinette, portrayed in a distinctive and exaggerated style that is characteristic of Botero’s work. She is dressed in an ornate, pale green gown with puffed sleeves, which accentuates her voluminous figure. Her hair is styled into tight curls, and she wears a large black hat adorned with a light-colored feather. In her hand, she holds a paintbrush, as she appears to be painting a bowl of vibrant, multi-colored roses situated on a small table beside her. The background features lush greenery, with hints of blue and pink flowers interspersed among the leaves, contributing to an overall sense of opulence.
