Folk art dog sculpture in casual dress, hand painted throughout. A labrador gift by Carviani.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe has his hands in his pockets. Not because he is uncertain, but because he is exactly comfortable. The neckerchief is loose. The vest is the kind of thing a person who dresses well wears when they are not trying to impress anyone, which is the most impressive way to dress. He is looking at you with the particular warmth that black Labradors have always had and that no other breed has ever quite managed to replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a hand carved and entirely hand painted wooden black Labrador statue, approximately eight inches tall. The outfit is casual and considered in the way that a Saturday afternoon with people you actually like requires. A sky blue button shirt with the collar open. Over it a diamond pattern vest painted in two tones of blue with individual white dots at every intersection across the full surface of the front. A green and gold plaid neckerchief loosely knotted at the throat. Dark navy trousers with a painted leather belt and gold buckle. Dark red loafers at the feet with painted sole detail along the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe face is where this piece earns its place in a collector's home. The black Labrador coat is painted in fine directional strokes of charcoal and dark grey over a deep black base, with softer lighter strokes across the muzzle and brow where the fur naturally lightens. The eyes are warm amber brown, painted with a precision that gives them the depth and gentleness that anyone who has lived with a black Lab will recognize before they can articulate why. There is something in the expression that is simply true to the breed. That takes real skill to put into painted wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlace him on a shelf beside books and he settles in immediately. On a desk he becomes the object that makes the whole surface feel personal rather than arranged. Among other Carviani figures he is the approachable one, the one visitors reach for first and hold longest before setting back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe is a gift for every black Lab person. The one who still talks about a dog they lost. The one whose Lab is currently asleep on the sofa. The one who has always had one and always will. Because each piece is carved and painted entirely by hand, the exact softness of the muzzle painting, the particular warmth of the amber eyes, and the weight of this particular expression will belong only to this carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eType: Hand carved and hand painted wooden black Labrador statue, folk art figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Solid carved wood, hand painted throughout in fine layered detail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Deep black Labrador coat with charcoal and grey highlight strokes, sky blue shirt, two-tone blue diamond vest with white dot intersections, green and gold plaid neckerchief, navy trousers, dark red loafers, brown leather belt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Approximately 8 inches tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetail: Full diamond pattern vest painted in two tones with individual white dot intersections, directional fur stroke painting in charcoal and dark grey over black base, layered warm amber iris painting, painted leather belt with gold buckle, loafers with painted sole edge detail, painted plaid neckerchief pattern\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Folk art, anthropomorphic, casual gentleman, collector sculpture, breed portrait\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Hand painted and sealed.
