ANRI Mid-Century Hand-Carved Wooden Medical Doctor Figurine

This is a vintage, hand-carved wooden figurine commonly identified as a 'Medical Doctor' or 'Scientist' from the renowned Italian workshop, ANRI. Standing approximately 6 to 7 inches tall, the figure is expertly crafted from alpine maple or similar hardwood. It depicts a stylized male figure with an expressive, slightly caricatured face, featuring a high gloss finish on the wood. He wears a short tie and a voluminous white-painted laboratory coat or medical jacket, which provides a stark contrast to the natural dark wood of his head, hands, and the reddish-brown tone of his trousers. The coat is detailed with small, dark-painted buttons. The figure is mounted on a simple, square, original wooden plinth. Stylistically, this piece aligns with the mid-20th-century aesthetic (circa 1950s-1970s), showcasing the whimsical and charming character designs ANRI is famous for. The condition appears to be very good with minimal visible wear; the white paint on the coat remains bright, and there are no obvious chips or cracks visible in the wood. The glossy finish adds a protective layer, though some minor age-related crazing in the finish might be present upon closer tactile inspection. The craftsmanship is high, indicated by the smooth transitions between the carved elements and the precise application of the painted details.
