The beauty of the woman enhanced by the imposing strength of the feline. With this spectacular creation, the artists of the Lladró Haute Porcelain workshop bring their own vision of a classical theme that has inspired great masterpieces. With a theme based on the Bacchantes of Ancient Greece, later recreated by Renaissance and Baroque painters such as Titian, Michelangelo and Rubens, the temperament and decorative richness of this sculpture reminds us of the painting Bacchante on a Panther (1855) by the French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau. The sensuality of this limited series is accentuated by the semi-nude body of the woman, whose skin is very white. This lightness contrasts with the profusion of dark-toned decorations on her skirt and, above all, on the panther on which she is seated. The richness of finishes, tones, backgrounds and textures is achieved by combining the matt porcelain with the complex technique of hand-applied glazes.
