Infanta MargaritaFernando Botero

Botero (1984) reinterprets the young princess from Velázquez’s Las Meninas with his trademark inflated volume and flattened expression. The result is both homage and caricature, transforming a Spanish royal icon into a figure of endearing awkwardness. The work reflects Botero’s playful dialogue with European art history through exaggerated form and subtle satire.
