This charming sculpture captures a moment of pure musical joy. The character, styled with the sweetness and roundness typical of Dolfi art, is depicted playing the saxophone with eyes closed in serene ecstasy. His expression, with slightly puffed cheeks and a slight smile, conveys a sense of playful harmony and lightheartedness.
Attention is focused on essential details: the curly hair framing the face, the spherical decorative element, and the small bird, a symbol of lightness and melody, perched on his shoulder. Entirely handmade in Val Gardena with the care that distinguishes master sculptors, this 18 cm work is carved from precious maple wood, chosen for its fine grain and exceptional ability to reflect light.
The natural, unvarnished finish enhances the warm tone of the wood, preserving its tactile and visual essence. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that combines ancient Dolomitic sculptural tradition with the vibrancy of a contemporary subject.
