A sacred work of art that captures a moment of profound tenderness and devotion. This sculpture portrays a kneeling shepherd, in a gesture of unconditional care and love, as he cradles two lambs in his arms. The serene and contemplative expression on his face, with his gaze lowered, conveys peace and deep humility, inviting the observer to reflection.
The chromatic tones are masterfully chosen: from the warm terracotta color of the outer robe to the soft grey-blue of the tunic, all pigments are applied with a refined glazing. This coloring method, typical of Val Gardena craftsmanship, enhances the underlying wood texture, giving the figure an opaque and natural appearance.
Crafted from precious maple wood, as is traditional for statues of this size, the sculpture is finely hand-carved by our masters. The soft lines, the deep folds of the robe, and the meticulous rendering of the lambs' fleece give volume and realism, making each piece a tangible symbol of faith and unparalleled Alpine artistry.
