This fabulous hand-made creation sparkles with beautiful
gold details and patterns and shines with rich range
of colors. A charming illustration to a well-known tale written by A. Pushkin,
that tells about a happy return of Tsarevna and
her prince charming after the evil magic of her stepmother was ruined by true
love. This fairy tale echoes with the world known tale "Snowwhite and 7
Dwarfs".
The village of Kholui, began painting lacquer miniatures in the 1930's. Kholui
artists are less bound to tradition or one particular style, unlike the other
villages, and seem to take a bolder approach to their works. Backgrounds for
Kholui works are occasionally one solid color (similar to Palekh), but more
often than not the artist fills this area with swirls of tone and shade. Partly
for this reason, Kholui works appear brighter than Palekh boxes and seem to
fill up more of the available space.
