Description

In this delightful sculpture, the craftsmanship of Val Gardena captures a moment of pure innocence and tenderness. The little girl, dressed in a terracotta-toned dress and a bright golden-yellow apron, stands gracefully, her head slightly tilted in a gesture of affectionate care. Attention focuses on her precious burdens: a small basket overflowing with colorful flowers and a second, larger woven basket, in which she tenderly holds a small animal, perhaps a lamb or a rabbit.

Every detail is a testament to Dolfi's mastery: from the delicate braids tied with green ribbons to the figure's feet, where small yellow leaves and flowers decorate the base. The apron stands out for its decoration of small white floral motifs, typical of Alpine decorative painting. The finish, expertly applied by hand, is veiled, allowing a glimpse of the warm grain of the wood underneath, giving the work a lived-in and authentic appearance.

This sculpture is entirely made of precious maple wood, crafted with dedication and passion by our sculptors from Val Gardena for all available sizes (from 5 cm to 15 cm), guaranteeing an item of incomparable quality, beauty, and durability over time.

Detail & Meaning
The subject, a little girl caring for elements of nature – spring flowers and a small animal – embodies the universal values of innocence, care, and responsibility. Her attentive and gentle pose, with her gaze directed towards the animal held close to her side, symbolizes the care and protection of weaker creatures, a theme deeply rooted in Alpine rural tradition and the Christian symbolism of the Good Shepherdess. The overflowing baskets and embroidered apron also evoke abundance, fertility, and industriousness, making this figure a symbol of a simple and fulfilling life.
Story
The creation of sculptures depicting children in scenes of daily or rural life is a specialty rooted in the rich sculptural tradition of Val Gardena, which developed starting from the 17th century. These genre figures were initially produced to be integrated into nativity scenes or to decorate home environments, bringing warmth and a sense of closeness to nature. Dolfi perpetuates this line of artistic production, celebrating the skill of local artisans in transposing into wood not only sacred figures, but also moments of pure daily life and affection, keeping alive the legacy of a vibrant and narrative sculpture.
