This 2002 sanguine on paper drawing exemplifies Fernando Botero's signature volumetric style, depicting a rotund, suited man reclining in an armchair with the artist's characteristic sense of monumental corpulence and quiet dignity. Executed in the venerable Old Master medium of red chalk, the work reveals Botero's extraordinary draftsmanship—his confident crosshatching and tonal modulation lending sculptural weight and warmth to the figure. Works on paper by Botero are increasingly sought after by collectors, as they offer an intimate window into the Colombian master's creative process and his deep engagement with the European drawing tradition. Signed and dated lower right, this piece represents a fine example from the artist's mature period, bridging Latin American modernism with classical technique.
