A carving that captures the spontaneity of childhood and the pure joy of connecting with nature. This wooden sculpture from Val Gardena immortalizes a moment of tender play: a child in a dynamic pose interacts with their little four-legged friend. The puppy, raised on its hind legs, playfully awaits the red, spherical object held firmly in the child's hand, who observes the scene with concentration and a slight smile.
Every detail, from the folds of the clothes to the strands of hair, is masterfully rendered. The work is distinguished by its polychrome finish, characterized by warm, earthy tones that enhance the rustic texture of the wood. The opaque and slightly translucent colors allow the underlying grain to show through, highlighting the authentic craftsmanship that makes each piece unique.
Completely handmade according to the sculptural tradition of Val Gardena, this precious work is carved from maple wood, the material preferred by local artists for all sculptures under 56 cm. It is a masterpiece of sweetness and sculptural skill, perfect for infusing affection and a touch of authentic art into any environment.
