Kneeling Mary in prayer - Maple Wood

Let yourself be enveloped by the serene contemplation of this sculpture, a masterpiece of faith and craftsmanship. The figure of Mary is captured in a moment of profound devotion, kneeling, with her hands joined in a gesture of hushed prayer and an expression of humility and grace. Attention is focused on the drapery of the robes, sculpted with realistic folds that give volume and movement, almost making her vibrate with emotion.

The master sculptors of Val Gardena have brought this representation to life through careful polychromy. The desaturated blue-grey mantle is paired with an internal terracotta-red dress, matte finishes applied with evident brushstrokes that testify to the hand painting. The ocher accent bordering the mantle adds a touch of light and warmth to the composition, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the work.

This statue is a symbol of Dolfi's craftsmanship. Whether in the Colored (C), Natural (N), or Three Shades of Brown (3G) finishes, the sculpture is entirely made of precious maple wood. Maple wood, renowned for its fine grain and resistance, is the preferred material for small sculptures like this one (up to 56 cm), guaranteeing sharp details and perfect adhesion of the artisanal color.
