This significant porcelain figurine, titled Couple at the Well (model 01005127) and known in Spanish as En la Fuente, is a masterful study of pastoral life and quiet connection. Sculpted by the artist Juan Huerta and first introduced in 1982, the piece features a young man and woman in traditional provincial attire gathered at a stone water well. The man sits on the edge of the well holding a cluster of grapes, while the woman leans gracefully against the stone structure, holding a small bowl. The composition is enriched with authentic details, including two traditional ceramic water jugs and a flowing water spout. Rendered in Lladro’s signature muted palette of soft greys, tans, and blues, the sculpture is finished in a high-gloss glaze that emphasizes the fluid lines and serene expressions of the figures. This retired model is highly regarded by collectors for its large scale, complex storytelling, and the technical skill displayed in the varied textures of stone, fabric, and ceramic.
