Lucky us. First because we found rare sketches for Botchejelli’s famous “Nude on a Half Shell” in an old trunk in California completely preserved in the dry desert air. Lucky us second because we happened to know the perfect model to illustrate Botchejelli’s preliminary concepts, classically trained art model Helga, with her rounded trim curves, long shapely legs, tapered waist, and a pair of perfect complementary renaissance attributes. I think we will all agree that these poses by Botchjeelli were far too breathtaking to remain hidden.
