This sculpture captures the tender and vibrant scene of a brooding hen, dedicated to protecting her four chicks, who nestle trustingly under her wing. The work is a celebration of maternal love and life, crafted with the unmistakable artisanal mastery of Val Gardena.
Observe the meticulous texture of the plumage, a detail that testifies to the sculptor's skill: the individual feathers on the back and wings are delineated by grooves and reliefs that give the figure visual movement and simulated tactile softness. The vibrant colors, from the reddish-brown of the hen to the brilliant yellow-orange of the chicks, are applied with an opaque or semi-opaque paint that enhances the rustic and authentic character of the carving, particularly in the colored finishes (C, C2) and in the three-shade brown variant (3G).
Crafted entirely from precious Maple Wood, this sculpture follows the rigorous Dolomite tradition that favors this material for smaller figures (6 cm up to 14 cm), guaranteeing strength and an exceptional finish whether you choose the colored version or the purity of natural wood (N).
