Rich with character and exceptional craftsmanship, the sculpture captures the hunter pausing in thought with rifle slung over his shoulder, drink in hand, and his attentive companion looking up from below.

Carved entirely by hand with expressive facial features, crisp clothing details, and a beautifully faceted surface that showcases the maker’s tools, this piece embodies the warmth and charm of traditional Alpine folk art. The warm aged patina further enhances the natural beauty of the wood and highlights its antique character.

A wonderful decorative sculpture for a mountain lodge, English country house, hunting cabin, or traditional European interior. Equally at home among collections of Black Forest carvings, Tramp Art, and fine folk art.
