Description:

This mono-chrome painted box shows the scenes from the popular fairy-tale of a Little Red Riding Hood, written by the French writer Charles Perault.
Little Red Riding Hood is a little girl who lives in the village near the forest. She always wears the red hood and that is the reason of her nickname. Once her grandmother gets sick, and Little Red Riding Hood is sent out to bring her cookies. On the way to the grandmother's house she meets the hungry Wolf. The Wolf wants to eat the girl but is afraid to do so in public (there are woodcutters nearby). He approaches the girl, and she tells him where she is going. He suggests the girl pick some flowers, which she does. In the meantime, he goes to the grandmother's house and gains entry by pretending to be the girl. He eats the grandmother and waits for the girl, disguised as the grandmother. When the girl arrives, he eats her too. A woodcutter, however, comes to the rescue and cuts the wolf open. Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother emerge unharmed.
On this composition we can see a Little Red Riding Hood with a Wolf. The artist continued the painting on the sides of the box. We can see again a little girl with cakes and flowers, a girl with a Wolf pretended as he is her her Grandma, the house of Grandma and final- meeting of Grandma with a girl after rescue.
The composition is drawn in brown tones of different shades.
The box is constructed out of papier-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior of the bottom and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The box has a hinge affixed from the top of the composition, and rests flat. The box is signed with the artist's name and date of 2014 in white oils under the composition. You might need magnifying glass to find it...
The prefix (avt.) before the artist's name indicates that this work is the author's original creation.
