This enchanting sculpture captures a moment of pure joy and anticipation. The little girl, in her bright orange-red dress, clutches two gift packages to her chest, while her small and loyal dog stands waiting, sharing her wonder. The delicate pose and expression of contemplation, with her eyes downcast and mouth slightly ajar, evoke the unique emotion of preparing or receiving a special gift.
Attention to detail is the heart of this creation: one notices the hairstyle with a sculpted bow, the ruffled collar and cuffs, and the stylized carving on the apron pocket, elements that bear witness to the artisan mastery of Val Gardena.
Entirely handcrafted, this work of art is carved from precious maple wood, following our centuries-old tradition. For the 11 cm and 15 cm sizes, maple guarantees a smooth finish and extraordinary precision in the smallest details. The painting, strictly hand-executed, uses colors that allow the natural grain of the wood to show through, imparting unmistakable warmth and authenticity to this scene of affection and anticipation.
