Lladró - Sculpture

Pair of sculptures "Inuit Children" by Juan Huerta for Lladró – Stoneware finish – 1970s. Superb vintage pair of sculptures representing two Inuit children, crafted by the Spanish sculptor Juan Huerta for the Lladró manufacturer, based in Tavernes Blanques, near Valencia, Spain.

The details of the clothing, poses and hairstyles are finely worked and testify to the artisanal know‑how characteristic of Lladró. The lot comprises two matching models: 1.
