Sculptures Littéraires Mécaniques en Bois Sculpté

A 2x1 diptych grid showcasing two hand-carved alpine chalet mechanical book sculptures, reminiscent of intricate cuckoo clocks with shutters, pendulums, and miniature moving figures built into vintage book bases. Panel A ([Don Quixote]): a carved windmill roofline with rotating sails and a spring-lunge knight figure. Panel B ([1984]): a carved brutalist watchtower facade with a mechanical blinking iris shutter and a sweeping searchlight arm. Photorealistic hand-carved woodcraft style, visible chisel marks and rich oiled walnut grain. Lighting: warm hearthlight mixed with a cool moonlight rim light, soft volumetric haze. Composition: centered on rustic plinths, 65mm lens perspective, shallow depth of field, seamless deep forest green background.
