Let yourself be enchanted by the Sitting Shepherdess with Amphora, a sculpture that evokes the sweetness and simplicity of pastoral life. Every detail, from the softness of the drapery to the thoughtful expressions, is the result of the mastery of Val Gardena artisans.
The figure, with her traditional dress in warm terracotta and cream tones, is captured in a moment of quiet. Her face is painted with delicate features that reflect a gentle and contemplative expression, while gracefully holding a rustic amphora. The matte, antiqued finish, using earthy and subdued pigments, gives the piece a timeless charm and a unique material depth.
This precious work is entirely carved from Maple Wood, the fine material traditionally chosen for statues of this size (up to 56 cm). Maple wood is renowned for its fine grain and excellent ability to accept oil paint, ensuring vibrant and long-lasting color rendition in the colored (C) variants and an essential beauty in the natural (N) variants, perfect for enhancing the purity of the sculpture.
