Lady Day Ivory Sculpture by Liu Jianhua

Ethereal yet seductive, this precious sculpture in Capodimonte porcelain - the pride of the Neapolitan artistic tradition - belongs to a series counting only fifteen pieces each signed by the artist and reinterpreting in a western key a previous collection that celebrated Chinese art. The minute handwork behind the realistic pleats of the dress seemingly enveloping the female silhouette testifies the utmost expertise of craftsmen working at the Pasquale De Palma's laboratory.
