One more absolutely stunning masterpiece painted in the distinctive and charming manner with amazing use of a
one-hair brush
to create golden and silver strokes. Beautiful pallette of colors of an early
evening tells us a story of forbidden love between Merchant Kalashikov
and
a married woman..
The plot is based on a traditional Russian folk-song and presents the story of the revenge of the merchant Kalashnikov who murders the tsar's bodyguard for dishonoring the merchant's wife, and Tambovshaya kaznacheysha (1838; The Tambov Treasurer's Wife), which relates the pursuit of a provincial lady by a dashing officer, who eventually wins his beloved at a card game.
Talented artist makes a talented painting: every little
details in this box is well thought and extremely carefully painted. This large box is accented by a nice golden border and
it is an extremely detailed painting. Immaculate! |
