This wooden sculpture captures the pure harmony and dynamic lightness of an angel in flight, a winged putto rendered with childlike grace and soft, rounded forms. The serene and focused expression is entirely directed towards the celestial music emanating from the finely carved lyre, held with delicate hands. The sense of movement is accentuated by the golden drapery flowing around the legs and the majestic wings, finished with a brilliant metallic effect reminiscent of gold leaf luster.
The craftsmanship of Val Gardena is revealed in the meticulous painting: the body features rosy nuances on the joints and cheeks, in stark contrast with the vibrant golden finish and the burnished wood details of the lyre. Crafted according to Dolfi tradition, and available in sizes up to 28 cm, this statue is carved from precious maple wood. This wood, renowned for its fine grain and durability, ensures the perfect rendition of dynamic details and complex finishes, offering a piece of authentic handmade sacred art, available in Colored (C), Natural (N), and Three Shades (3G) finishes.
