Charming vintage ANRI Italy-style hand-carved and hand-painted wooden figurine depicting a young girl sweeping with a broom.
This petite folk-art figure stands approximately 3¼ inches tall and features wonderful Old World character. The girl wears a warm red/orange headscarf, brown dress, golden-yellow patterned apron with green accents, and brown boots while holding a detailed carved broom.
The carving has a particularly sweet expression, with the girl’s head tilted downward as though she has become a little tired while doing her chores.
The underside retains remnants of what appears to have once been a paper identification label. Because the label is heavily worn and no clearly readable ANRI mark remains, please review the photographs closely when evaluating the attribution.

HUMOROUS DESCRIPTION
She’s only about 3¼ inches tall, but apparently she’s still responsible for sweeping the entire house.
Judging by that expression, she’s already reconsidering the arrangement.
Fortunately, her next job can simply be standing in a curio cabinet looking adorable.
