The sculpture Girl with Flower Basket captures a moment of serene and contemplative beauty. The young figure is immortalized in an upright pose, carefully holding a basket brimming with vibrant blossoms, symbolizing life and innocence. The earthy and warm colors used – from the ochre yellow of the dress to the reddish tones of the hair and basket – evoke the rich chromatic palette of alpine nature.
Every detail is the result of the artisanal excellence of Val Gardena: observe the meticulous folds of the dress, the tight curls framing the face and, in particular, the masterful rendering of the basket's weave and the stylized variety of flowers within it, all meticulously hand-painted with a satin finish that enhances their three-dimensionality.
This artwork, available in sizes 5 cm, 12 cm, and 16 cm, is made of maple wood. Maple wood is the ideal choice for Dolfi sculptures smaller than 56 cm, renowned for its fine grain and stability, which allows sculptors to achieve exceptional definition and a perfect finish for hand coloring.
