This is one of the very best works of art we've ever had in our collection!! Please take a look how the semi-transparent blouse of this girl is painted! One more absolutely stunning masterpiece painted in the distinctive and charming manner with amazing use of a one-hair brush.

Artists from Fedoskino, the birthplace of Russian lacquer miniatures, use a more realistic style of painting than the other villages. They also use oil paints for their drawings instead of the egg-based temperas. Three to four layers of the oil paints, along with seven coats of lacquer, are applied to each box before it is completed. This layering brings out a radiant quality in the drawings and the colors seem to emanate from within. Sometimes, an underlay of gold leaf or mother of pearl enhances this radiance and adds a lovely iridescence of its own.

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!
