The sculpture captures an instant of pure and unconditional friendship. Seated on a sumptuous walnut and lavender-style armchair, a chubby-cheeked child gently leans towards his faithful canine companion. The little one's concentrated expression, intent on stroking or arranging a small ornament on the dog's head, reflects a tender and thoughtful bond, typical of childlike innocence.
The details have been crafted with extreme skill: from the floral pattern of the armchair to the grooming tools and toys scattered at the child's feet. Every element contributes to making the scene vivid and welcoming. The pastel and earthy colors, applied with a matte finish, enhance the sculpted textures of the hair, clothes, and coat, giving the figurine a unique domestic warmth.
Crafted according to the ancient artisanal tradition of Val Gardena, this figurine is carved from maple wood, the preferred choice of our artisans for small sculptures (4 cm and 7 cm). The wood is selected for its fine grain and its ability to retain the smallest details of the sculpture, before being hand-painted with absolute precision, making each piece a unique and lasting symbol of affection.
