Childhood memories of fun and games prove for many a person one of the great joys of life. Four kids and a pet have harnessed the donkey to the wagon in this scene of innocent infantile joy, a day out captured in a piece considered to be a genuine treasure.
Two young girls are playing at a little pond in a park on a sunny day. They are floating rose petals like boats on the surface of the water. Framing the scene behind them are shrubs pruned to look like cypresses. Classic glazed porcelain, in the traditional Lladro palette of colours. Small porcelain flowers in the rose bushes, and loose petals on the water and in the girls hands.
A melancholic harlequin continues in the same line as the famous figurine Sad Harlequin, for decades the best illustration of the pronounced stylization of the pieces that marked the Lladró style back in the 60s. In the creation of this new figurine, the Lladró artists took their inspiration from Picasso¿s famous painting Arlequín pensativo from his blue period. It belongs to the Lladro Utopia Collection.
