An expression of joy and heavenly harmony, this exquisite Dolfi wooden sculpture captures a winged putto in a moment of pure melody. The figure is portrayed in a dynamic, graceful pose, suggesting an ethereal flight as the cherub brings a small wind instrument to his lips. His serene, focused expression is enhanced by the meticulous hand-painting, giving the sculpture a unique tactile and visual depth.
The color details are exceptionally refined: the smooth, matte complexion with delicate rosy nuances creates a harmonious contrast with the vibrant gold finish of the wings and lower drapery. The warm, satin-like golden tone is applied with meticulous craftsmanship. An elegant antique-pink drape wraps around the shoulder, adding an extra touch of grace. Every detail — from the voluminous curls intricately carved into the wood to the precisely defined feathers of the wings — is a testament to the highest level of handcrafted artistry from Val Gardena.
This hand-carved wooden sculpture is made entirely from maple wood, the preferred wood of Dolfi carvers for sculptures up to 56 cm in height. Maple wood allows for exceptional precision in the finest details, making it ideal for faithfully reproducing the delicate facial features and intricate forms of this angelic figure. The sculpture is available in several finishes: from the classic color finish (C), to natural wood (N), or elegant brown shades (3G). Each version is entirely hand-painted and finished by our skilled master craftsmen in Val Gardena — a unique work of art with an authentic South Tyrolean character.
