Alexander Kononov from the village of Fedoskino painted this thrilling winter landscape. Here the artist expressed beauty of Russian countryside in winter. The scene is painted in light grey and blue tones; this rather monotonous palette is enlivened by silver metal powder that creates brilliance of the icy river and the snow. Gold metal powder is used to highlight some areas of the trees and bushes.
The scene is framed with a gold line; the box's sides are adorned with two parallel gold lines.
The box is constructed out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, and the year of 2006.
