This festive box is a real specimen of traditional Fedoskino artistry! The box is painted by a well-known Master,Boris Shavirin.
It features a lad and a pretty girl that are dancing at the village street. Singing and dancing to the accompaniment of accordion and balalayka were the only available amusements then...
The scenes like this one, depicting peasants, their daily life, feasts, and traditions were very popular during the Vishnyakov and Lukutin era at the Fedoskino.
The clothes and dresses of the villagers are richly decorated with the golden paint!
The scene is framed with a gold band.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The lid is hinged from the left of the composition, and the box rests flat.
Signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino and the year of 2021.
