Good condition, hand sculpture on a base. Signed Botero.
12 inches high, 8 inches wide from the base.
Hello, this item is a small bronze style hand sculpture inspired by the work of Fernando Botero. The rounded fingers, inflated volume and smooth surfaces mimic Botero’s well known aesthetic, but the base, patina and finishing details show that this is a decorative reproduction rather than an authenticated Botero bronze. Genuine Botero bronzes carry precise foundry marks, edition numbers and documentation from recognized galleries, none of which are visible in the images. The form is consistent with mass produced decorative pieces sold from the late twentieth century onward, often marked Botero but not associated with the artist’s catalogue raisonné.
The fair market value for decorative Botero style hand sculptures of this size usually falls between 40 and 120 USD in online marketplaces. The piece is in good condition and retains a uniform patina which supports a value around 60 to 100 USD. Authenticated Botero bronzes would command significantly higher prices, but this example belongs to the decorative reproduction category.
