Large Lladro "Serenity" Porcelain Nude Bust

Large Lladro "Serenity" Porcelain Nude Bust
c. 1999, Spanish.
The Lladró "Serenity" extra-large porcelain bust (officially model #01012395 / 2395) is a master-tier sculptural achievement that belongs to the elite category of Lladró's great nudes. Designed by the celebrated master sculptor Francisco Catalá, this physically commanding bust was issued in 1999 and officially retired in 2005, making it an exclusive and highly coveted prize on the secondary market. It portrays the torso and head of a young, nude woman in a profoundly pensive, inner-looking pose with her eyes closed, radiating a sense of absolute calm and transcendental peace.
The Gres Finish: Rather than using traditional high-gloss white enamel, this masterpiece is rendered in Lladró’s specialized Gres finish. It utilizes satin-smooth textures, soft earthy skin tones, and rich matte enamels that highlight the anatomical realism and fluid, classic lines of the sculpture.
Monumental Dimensions: This is an exceptionally large, heavy statement piece standing a massive 19.25 inches (48 cm) high and measuring 14 inches (35 cm) wide, meaning it requires a dedicated mantle or heavy-duty gallery pedestal to display safely. Marked on the underside of the base.
