The artwork, titled “Young Girl,” was created by Fernando Botero in 1962. It belongs to the Neo-Figurative Art movement and is a portrait genre.
In this portrayal, Botero’s distinctive style is apparent, with the subject depicted in an exaggerated, voluminous manner. The young girl is adorned in a light blue dress with a bow, clutching an item resembling an orange or a similar round object. Her facial features are prominently oversized, emphasizing a sense of innocence and youth while simultaneously presenting a surreal and whimsical aesthetic. The background is kept simple with muted tones, further highlighting the central figure.
