ANRI Juan Ferrandiz 3" Scale 'Inspector' Hand Carved Wood Figure | Made 2024 in Italy

ANRI Wood Carving 'Inspector'

Designed by the artist Juan Ferrandiz, a painter who wrote poetry and a poet who painted pictures. He received his artistic education at the “Reial Académia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi” in Barcelona, later became himself an art professor and devoted himself to the design of figures based on his particular predilection for childish themes. His collaboration with ANRI allowed the ANRI Master carvers to bring many of his designs to life. Juan Ferrándiz passed away in August 1997, at the age of 79.

This lovely sculpture features a young boy wearing a trench coat and deerstalker headgear. With magnifying lens in hand and his cat partner perched on his shoulder, they follow the trail of the "evil" pigeon whom they suspect as the crime perpetrator.

Inspector was carved from a single block of wood. Every single cut was worked by hand and every detail carefully hand brushed with special transparent oil-based colors so that the beauty of the wood grain remains visible. 3" Scale (7.5 cm).

Likely made circa 1980-1990. In Excellent vintage condition.
