The sweetness of childhood is captured with rare poetry in this mini sculpture, an authentic masterpiece of Dolfi craftsmanship. The sculpture depicts a little girl in a composed pose, whose clothes in warm shades of terracotta orange and blue-grey harmoniously blend with her dearest treasures: a teddy bear clutched to her chest and a doll held in her right hand. The expression on her face is quiet and serene, an icon of innocence.
This figure is made entirely of precious maple wood, the material of choice in the Val Gardena tradition for smaller sculptures (available in 7.5 cm and 11 cm sizes). Each piece is carved and finished with extreme care, but its uniqueness lies in the painting. Expert artisans apply veiled and semi-transparent oil colors, entirely by hand. This painting technique allows the natural grain of the wood to show through, giving the sculpture a warm, matte, and incredibly natural appearance. A small, yet significant, tribute to Alpine art, perfect for collectors or as a baptism and communion gift.
