"Woman with a Book" is a painting by Colombian figurative artist Fernando Botero, created in 1987. Known for his signature style, often referred to as 'Boterismo', Botero depicts figures in a large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. "Woman with a Book" continues this theme of inflated forms with its depiction of a robust female figure engrossed in reading a book.

The painting is a part of Botero's wider body of work that focuses on the human figure, where he frequently plays with scale and proportion to explore form and composition. In "Woman with a Book," the subject is seated, her ample form taking up the majority of the canvas, which emphasizes the physical presence of the figure. The woman is dressed in a formal, perhaps traditional, outfit and is positioned against a nondescript or neutral background that draws attention to her form rather than her surroundings. The book she holds appears small in comparison to her enlarged hands and body, creating a sense of whimsy and challenging the viewer's perception of reality.

Botero's work is often infused with a sense of satire, and "Woman with a Book" may subtly comment on the nature of intellectualism, femininity, or the act of reading itself. The painting's bold lines, vibrant colors, and smooth textures are characteristic of Botero's approach to painting and contribute to the work's visual impact.

"Woman with a Book" is a reflection of Botero's consistent interest in literary themes and the act of reading, which he has explored throughout his career. The painting is emblematic of his unique aesthetic philosophy and stands as a testament to his ability to blend elements of the comic and the profound. As with many of Botero's works, "Woman with a Book" is not only a celebration of form and beauty but also an invitation to contemplate the deeper meanings behind the exaggerated proportions and the everyday activities he portrays.

The painting is held in private collections and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums around the world. It is also frequently included in retrospectives of Botero's work, underlining its importance within his oeuvre and its appeal to both art critics and the general public.
