The Gallery's Perspective
At first glance this group reads like a lively moment frozen in porcelain: riders and horses in mid-stride, hounds skimming the ground, and a fox slipping ahead of the pack. The composition’s horizontal sweep gives a strong sense of forward motion while variations in pose — a horse rearing, a hound straining, a rider leaning into the chase — create an animated contrast that keeps the scene from feeling static. The glazed surface catches light smoothly, emphasizing the delicate modeling of faces, manes, and the rocky base. Subtle color shifts in the finishes help separate figures and bring depth to the tableau without interrupting its overall harmony. Because this is a multi-figure sculptural group, silhouette and spacing are important here: each figure reads clearly against its neighbors, so you can appreciate both the individual gestures and the coordinated action of the whole. There’s a neat theatricality to the piece — an outdoor narrative hinted at rather than spelled out — that makes it appealing in a mantel or display where its storytelling energy can be noticed and enjoyed. For collectors of figurative porcelain, the work’s grace, surface sheen, and lively arrangement are what make it memorable.

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.
