Sculpture of Saint Louise de Marillac in Val Gardena Wood

A Val Gardena carved sculpture of St Louise de Marillac in a contemplative pose: head slightly bowed and gaze directed downwards, capturing a serene expression of devotion.

Finished with natural earths and pigments, the habit is a warm medium brown contrasting with the dark, near‑black cloak. Iconographic details include a crucifix in the right hand, an open book in the left, and a cream‑white veil and wimple that illuminate the face.

Each piece is hand‑finished by master artisans with a matte, natural finish. Sizes up to 56 cm are carved from fine maple; larger versions use sturdy linden. The statue stands on a double‑level hexagonal base for secure, elegant support.
