Description:

This exquisite portrait of a beautiful lady, was painted by Yevgeniy Dokuchaev of Fedoskino. He graduated from Fedoskino Art School in 1962, and in 1976 from the Moscow Higher Art Industrial College (former Stroganov School). This artist differs from his peers in that he sticks strictly to the traditional Stroganov and Fedoskino styles. This master is employed by "Russian Collection", "Sakva", is a member of the Artists' Union, and has also received the "Veteran of Labor" award.
The portraits like this one were very popular at the beginning of the ninetieth century. At that time P.V. Lukutin factory produced a large quantity of lacquered boxes depicting young beautiful ladies.
This piece is truly a work of art, from top to bottom! Here the artist has combined brilliant skill with oil paints in shading, coloring, texturing, and a gift for realism.
The scene is framed with a gold line. Two parallel gold lines decorate the box's sides.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the piece while red lacquer completes the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the left side of the composition, and the box rests on four legs. The work is signed by the artist.
