A Bath

A Bath
Fernando Botero - 1992. Private Collection.

I found this painting when I was randomly looking through the Athenaeum website – I couldn’t believe my eyes but proceeded to look up this painter on the Internet, and lo and behold, he has produced an entire series of these “fat beauties”, many of them naked, in tight leotards or similar. I cannot quite see any one of them hanging in my home but the “bathing beauty” certainly inspired this LO…

The photograph is, of course, me – equally in the nude but in much better shape! Taken in July 1966 at not quite two years old…
