Lladró 1357 Shelley, Pink Sitting Ballerina by Juan Huerta

The Lladró 1357 Shelley is a glossy porcelain young ballerina sitting on the floor, resting on her own tutu with no separate base. Her knees are bent and turned to one side with her ankles crossed, and she tips her head down to look at her feet. Her gray-brown hair, a soft taupe gray, is pulled back from her face into a long ponytail that falls down her back. She wears a pink short-sleeved top in a soft salmon pink, a white tutu, cream white, fanned out in deep folds around her, pale blue tights in a light blue-gray, and pale pink ballet slippers with ribbons crossed over the ankles. One arm reaches down toward her knee and the other hand rests on the tutu behind her.
