Botero style painting

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 14:33:12 GMT

Does anyone know how I can find out if the painting in the attached photos is an original by Fernando Botero ? I inherited it when i bought a fully furnished flat many years ago. It has no signature and I've no idea of any Botero experts in the UK

If no 'Botero' experts pop along and it is difficult to prove authenticity from a photo, then perhaps take it if there's no art dealer near you, none where I live, so take to a reputable auction house who can send it off to be examined.

I just saw an identical one posted on Facebook Marketplace near Washington DC for $1000, but also found it listed on MuralArt dot com as a "in the Style of" rather than by Botero.
