Lladro 'Girl with Wheelbarrow' Figurine

This appears to be a Lladro porcelain figurine depicting a young girl pushing a wheelbarrow overflowing with flowers. The figure stands approximately medium to large in size, suggesting a presence when displayed. The girl is dressed in what appears to be traditional European attire, featuring a dark bodice with white ruffles or trim down the front, off-white sleeves, and a skirt with earthy tones and possibly some subtle graphic detailing near the hem. She has dark hair styled with a simple headband, and a light-colored bonnet-like head covering that frames her face. The materials are glazed porcelain, characteristic of Lladro, presenting a smooth, lustrous finish. The color palette is soft and naturalistic, with delicate pink, yellow, and white flowers in the wheelbarrow, contrasted with the darker attire of the girl and the lighter skin tones. The wheelbarrow itself has a woven or textured appearance, mimicking wicker or wood, and is laden with individually sculpted, highly detailed porcelain flowers and green foliage. The base is an elongated oval, sculpted to resemble grass or a natural ground surface, with a few scattered flowers adding to the garden theme. No visible significant damage, chips, or repairs are immediately apparent from the provided images, indicating good condition. The craftsmanship exhibits the high level of detail and delicate modeling associated with Lladro, particularly in the floral elements and the gentle expression of the girl's face. This figurine likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century, falling into a contemporary decorative arts style. The intricate floral work is a notable feature, indicating a delicate manufacturing process.
