Let yourself be enchanted by the sweetness and grace of this sculpture, a true tribute to the innocence and beauty of nature. The young maiden is portrayed in a serene and slightly reclined pose, with downcast eyes that convey a profound delicacy, as she clasps a voluminous bouquet of roses to her chest.
Every detail, from the coppery curls of her hairstyle to the elegantly ruffled collar of her dress, is sculpted with artisanal mastery. The figure wears a traditional dress in warm, muted tones – dark ochre, lavender purple, and olive green accents – which enhance the chromatic richness of the bouquet. The velatura finish, typical of the best Dolfi artisans, allows the warm grain of the wood to show through the hand-painted surface, giving it a lived-in and natural look, particularly on the skin and fabrics.
This 11 cm statue is crafted from precious maple wood, a chosen material for its compactness and fineness, ideal for carving subjects of small dimensions. The carving, expertly executed in Val Gardena, celebrates the excellence of South Tyrolean craftsmanship, guaranteeing a unique piece of inestimable artistic and sentimental value. The individual roses carved at the base complete the work, transforming this sculpture into a small, eternal flower garden.
