The sculpture "Barbara" is a masterpiece of sweetness and craftsmanship, a tribute to the purity of childhood carved in the heart of Val Gardena. This enchanting figure captures attention with its upright and frontal pose, conveying a profound serenity and a sense of domestic tranquility.
The girl wears an old-fashioned dress, characterized by an elegant dark blue (almost anthracite) with a delicate light polka dot pattern, emphasized by refined cream-colored scalloped edges. Her facial expression is disarmingly sweet, with vivid blue eyes and a faint smile that suggests a welcoming innocence, amplified by the gesture of her open hands, palms turned upwards, almost as if offering a gift or a silent welcome. Her voluminous and curly hair, precisely sculpted to recall natural wood grain, contrasts beautifully with the garland of red buds adorning her neck, adding a touch of vibrant color.
Material and Dolfi Quality: All variations of this figure, including the 10 cm and 15 cm sizes, are crafted from the finest Maple Wood. This wood, known for its compactness and fine grain, allows our sculptors to capture every minute detail of the face and clothes with surpreme precision. The oil painting, entirely hand-painted by our decorators, enhances the natural texture of the wood, giving the figure a warm and realistic finish, making each piece unique and precious.
