That's my Dad by Willow Tree

My dad recently passed, and this little figure sits on my nightstand now, which helps on tough days. The hand-painted finish gives it such a gentle, thoughtful feel.

I bought this as a gift for my dad and the gentle pose with the child's hand in his really got me emotional. The detailing on the jacket folds is surprisingly lifelike for such a small sculpture.

This little figurine captures a quiet moment of fatherhood so perfectly—the way his hands are just resting on the kid’s shoulders says everything. It's the kind of piece you put on a shelf and it makes you pause every time you walk by.
