The Kneeling Shepherd sculpture captures the essence of devotion and wonder, typical of the Nativity. Crafted with the centuries-old artisan wisdom of Val Gardena, this child expresses profound serenity: his eyes are lowered and his hands are joined in a pose of prayer and humility.
The chromatic harmony enhances the purity of the subject: pastel shades such as the peach-beige of the skin and the muted green of the clothing blend with the vibrant burnt orange of the hat, adorned with a small touch of nature: a green leaf with prominent veins. The handmade, opaque and delicate finish allows one to perceive the subtle grain of the underlying wood, guaranteeing a unique and high-quality piece.
Due to its 10 cm size, this figure is carved from maple wood, a precious material that gives the sculpture sharp details and exceptional durability, honoring the Dolomite sculptural tradition.
