Painting by Fernando Botero called "Woman Falling From A Balcony." Most of the painting is of a large woman in a green dress, suspended in mid-air as she falls from a second-story balcony. The skirt of her green strapless dress billows away from her lower half, revealing a hint of red undergarments and black stockings with garters. Her high heeled shoes are green like the dress. Her long brown hair cascades down one side of her face. A man peers out of a door below her, watching her fall. Behind them is visible the tiled roofs and church steeple of an Italian town.
