ANRI Ferrandiz Wood Carving 'The Hiker' This genuine hand crafted hand painted wood carving was designed by the artist Juan Ferrandiz, a painter who wrote poetry & 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 & 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 was carved from a single block of wood. Every single cut was worked by hand & 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). The underside is marked with a facsimile signature of Ferrandiz & has the incised '©ANRI Italy' mark. Likely made circa 1980-1983. in Excellent vintage condition. Sans original box.
