Fernando Botero's Mujer a Caballo (Woman on a Horse) exemplifies Botero's signature "Boterismo" style, characterized by exaggerated, voluminous forms. In this work, a robust female figure sits atop a proportionally rounded horse, both figures exhibiting the artist's distinctive emphasis on inflated proportions. This stylistic choice serves to explore themes of sensuality, humor, and political commentary.

Botero's work often reflects a satirical perspective on societal norms, and the exaggerated forms in Mujer a Caballo invite viewers to reconsider conventional representations of beauty and power. The sculpture's playful yet thought-provoking nature is emblematic of Botero's broader oeuvre, which spans paintings, drawings, and sculptures, all unified by their exploration of volume and form.
