Shepherd and Child with Dove - Maple Wood
This moving sculpture captures a moment of profound tenderness and teaching, typical of the best Val Gardena craftsmanship tradition. The group depicts an adult man, with the features of a wise shepherd or traveler, and a child kneeling by his side.
The man, elegantly dressed in earthy tones and a wide-brimmed hat, bends down protectively, placing a hand on the young boy's shoulder. His serene and contemplative gaze, combined with the sturdy staff he holds, gives the figure a sense of stability and guidance. Meticulous details such as the leather strap with the flask and the defined folds of the clothing enrich the composition.
The child is the emotional focal point: gracefully kneeling, he holds a pristine dove, a symbol of purity, in his cupped hands. The sweet and attentive expression on his face is a hymn to delicacy and listening.
According to our strict Dolfi logic for sculptures smaller than 56 cm, this work is entirely made of precious Maple Wood. Its fine texture enhances the carving mastery, available in the following variations: colored (C), natural (N), and three shades of brown (3G).
