The Gallery's Perspective
There’s a still, dignified presence to this porcelain bust that feels both intimate and ceremonial. The matte-dark face is softly modeled—closed or lowered eyes, gently full lips and a calm expression—that reads as quiet confidence rather than display. Above, the towering headscarf becomes the sculpture’s exuberant counterpart: layered patterns and etched ornament catch the light in copper, gold and muted pinks, creating a rich, tactile contrast with the smoothness of the skin. A stacked gold neck ring grounds the figure and repeats the metallic warmth found in the headwrap, tying the composition together. Because the surface treatments are so distinct, you notice both the sculptor’s attention to delicate facial anatomy and the artisans’ careful handwork on pattern and lustre. The result is a work that feels ceremonial and personal at once — a proud, serene presence that brings a sense of poise and warmth to the room.
The Artwork
About African soul
African soul - The culture, symbolism and color of Africa are the sources of inspiration for this work. The facial features of the woman depicted in this bust are exquisitely sculpted in matte porcelain while the headscarf she is wearing is one of the most widely used and recognizable accessories in African clothing. In reproducing this item of dress, Lladro artists have paid special attention to the wealth of the patterns and the vibrant coloring. On one hand, they have etched by hand all the details of the pattern and, on the other, they have decorated it with copper, pink, black and golden lusters.

Lladro was founded in 1953 when Juan, Jose, and Vicente, three brothers born of local farmers and endowed with great artistic talent, formed a small family company in the Valencian village of Almacera, Spain. Since then, Lladro has undergone an amazing metamorphosis from an artisan workshop to a huge firm of international scope enjoying continual growth. The company management has remained in the hands of the Lladro family, the owners of the firm, since its inception.
The creative team started out by adapting styles from past eras, but it was not long before certain characteristics appeared that would soon shape what was to become the unique Lladro style.
