Let yourselves be charmed by the pastoral scene enclosed in this delicate artisanal sculpture, an ode to rural life and care. The group depicts two shepherds, a man and a woman, in a moment of quiet daily life, surrounded by a small flock of geese.
Every detail, from the woven texture of the basket carried by the woman to the soft folds of the clothes, is expertly carved by the artists of Val Gardena. The figures are entirely painted in oil with a matte finish, using earthy and muted colors (terracotta, olive green, gray-blue) that give the work a rustic and timeless charm, enhancing the naturalness of the wood.
This precious creation, with its compact dimensions of 5 cm, is carved from fine maple wood, the material of choice for small and medium-sized Dolfi sculptures. Maple wood is renowned for its fine grain, which allows our sculptors to capture the expressive serenity of the faces and the realism of the composition, making each piece a tangible symbol of Val Gardena craftsmanship.
