Vintage wood carving Anri Italy by artist Ferrandiz Nature's child with rabbit

Vintage wood carving Anri Italy signed by artist Juan Ferrandiz " Nature's child with rabbit". Features a beautiful child in her "birthday suit" with flowers and marching with a rabbit/bunny or perhaps she is just walking , perhaps taking her first steps . To me I see a marching child , like she is marching to the beat of a different drummer. Very sweet and dimitutive wood carving ~ 2.5" tall and ~ 1.5" wide. Ruler and quarter in pics to help with size visualization, questions are always welcome.. "Artist Juan Ferrandiz died in 1997 , he believed that children are the hope for the salvation of mankind. That they are the symbol of enthusiasm, open-mindedness and the joy of life. He believed that these characteristics are all too often lost in adulthood. Ferrandiz’ work captures the spirit of youth and the spirit of nature, repeating the message which, he believes he was destined to communicate to the world… “That we must not abandon youthful enthusiasm, but must keep the element of joy alive in our souls.”" Flaws on this vintage piece consistent with age and being hand carved from wood ( see last 3 pictures for close up examples of condition for all over this sweet piece ).. paint loss, smudges dirt consistent with being handled through the years and hanging out in my curio cabinet . Does appear to be a tiny crack starting between her legs ( last picture) , and her standing leg looks like remnants of the artist's chisel marks also in last picture.
