The famous Fedoskino artist Alexey Chirkov is the creator of this oval box. This artist is fond of owls, and he has already painted a lot of boxes that depict various species of these enigmatic birds of prey. This is one more work from this series.
Here Chirkov depicts the Eagle Owl over the trees on the bank of the river.
The scene is painted in blue and brown tones of oils over the mix of silver and blue colour powder and mother-of-pearl inlay. Silver powder shines through the tree the owl is flying near by, and creates brilliance of the moonlit sky. One piece of mother-of-pearl helps to reproduce realistically a reflection of the moon light in the water of a river. Some of the gold colour leaves are swimming on the surface of the river.
The edgesof the lid are framed with a rich wide band of gold.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the work. The lid is hinged from the left, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the village of Fedoskino, 2008 and the title "Owl flying over the Forest" on the box's exterior bottom.
