Sensitive Hunter- HUM 6/I HSC 69139093

A lifetime of compassion begins with a single choice. Experience the gentle heart of a classic story with Sensitive Hunter (HUM 6/I). Originally known as "The Timid Hunter," this beloved figurine depicts a young boy who has ventured into the woods with his trusty toy gun over his shoulder. However, upon coming face-to-face with a small, defenseless brown rabbit, he decides to pass up his shot—choosing friendship and mercy over the prize.

This piece is a celebration of kindness and one of the most enduring designs in M.I. Hummel history. As a cornerstone of the Children & Animal Friends collection, it perfectly captures Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel’s belief in the innocence and inherent goodness of childhood. Hand-painted with meticulous detail in Rödental, Germany, the figurine features a wonderful contrast between the boy’s adventurous spirit and his sensitive nature, making it a meaningful gift for those who value compassion and the protection of wildlife.

Whether you are building a forest-themed display or a collection of young adventurers, "Sensitive Hunter" pairs beautifully with these select pieces:

• Playmates (HUM 58/I): The perfect "happily ever after" for our hunter's rabbit friend, featuring a boy who has chosen to care for his bunny companions rather than hunt them.

• Sing Along (HUM 433): Continue the forest journey with this mystical encounter between a young wanderer and a wise raven.

• Where Shall I Go? (HUM 465): A thoughtful companion that mirrors the boy's moment of pause and reflection in the middle of his journey.
