Kneeling Shepherd with Lambs in Maple Wood

A kneeling shepherd cradling two lambs, depicted with a lowered gaze and serene expression that conveys humility and invites reflection.

The outer robe is a warm terracotta, the tunic a soft grey‑blue; pigments are applied with a refined glazing typical of Val Gardena workmanship, which enhances the underlying wood texture for an opaque, natural finish.

Carved from precious maple wood in the traditional manner for statues of this size, the piece is hand‑carved by master artisans. Soft lines, deep folds in the robe and finely modelled lamb fleece give convincing volume and realism, reflecting Alpine craftsmanship.
