Lladro Wondering Boy Porcelain Figurine – SKU 01018280

Capture a moment of quiet reflection with the Lladro Wondering figurine. This evocative piece is part of a modern series that blends Lladro's legendary porcelain artistry with contemporary, abstract design elements. Handcrafted in Valencia, Spain, this figurine is a poignant study of curiosity and innocence, featuring a young boy in a contemplative pose atop a sleek, architectural base.

Modern Design and Masterful Detail Sculpted by the renowned artist Ernest Massuet, this piece stands out for its unique matte white porcelain finish. Unlike traditional glossy Lladro, the matte texture provides a contemporary, stone-like quality that emphasizes the subtle musculature and soft expression of the child. The boy is posed lying down on a silver-toned block, a modern design choice that adds a sophisticated contrast to the organic form of the figure.
