This sculpture captures the sacred intimacy and tenderness of the union between Saint Joseph and the Child Jesus, depicted in a moment of quiet protection and love. Saint Joseph, upright and benevolent, supports the Son with his left arm, showing a deep and paternal serenity. The expression on his face, framed by a well-groomed beard, is gentle and his gaze towards the world is reassuring.
The Child Jesus is comfortably seated, with a sweet expression and his left arm raised in a gesture of blessing, confirming his divine nature. The drapery of the garments is masterfully executed, with colors that create a strong sense of depth and realism. Saint Joseph's dark brown outer cloak opens to reveal a lining in bright gold, a detail that adds a touch of sublime brilliance and richness to the polychrome finish, entirely hand-painted.
Made according to the ancient tradition of Val Gardena craftsmanship, this statue is available in various finishes including classic polychromy, natural wood, or the refined three shades of brown. The choice of wood respects the craftsmanship and dimensions of the work: it is carved in maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and in linden wood for larger sizes, ensuring timeless strength and beauty for every chosen dimension.
