Description:

This beautiful village landscape was painted Alexander Tolstov(b.1929) from the village of Fedoskino. It gets dark and the setting sun lights up everything around with its golden light. Two girls have decided to swim in the lake and refresh themselves after the sultry day. Several horses pasture nearby. Farmers go home after their work in the fields. The depicted scene is very quiet and peaceful.
The palette is dominated by yellow-golden and green tones to reproduce the atmosphere of a warm summer evening. Gold powder is used to paint the sky illuminated with the setting sun and the like which reflects the skies. Gold paint is used to produce alternating light in the sky. Aluminum powder is used to highlight the girls' clothes.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The exterior of the box is covered with black lacquer, while the interior is traditionally red. The sides of the box are decorated with beautiful gold and aluminum patterns. The lid is hinged from the top of the composition and the box sits flat. The work is singed with the artist's name, the village of Fedoskino, the year of 2001, and the title ("Summer").
