Description:

Talented Palekh artist Yagodkina Serafima has painted this beautiful work. The colors that she chose fully represent the theme depicted. The box almost appears cold to the touch. The subject of this scene is based on the popular Russian fairy-tale "Snowmaiden".
The chosen scene of this story is enchanting and romantic. The Snowmaiden walks through the forest at night with her animal friends as she dreams of what could be. She wonders of what love is and what it means to love someone. Her fate is sealed as she is a child of two ethereal beings. Therefore, her only requirement to survive among humans is not to love, as deemed by the Sun-god Yarilo.
The Snowmaiden's beautiful fur-lined overcoat keeps her warm in the crisp night air. A red fox is near by Snowmaiden. We can see several houses of a village on the backside to the left.
The scene is framed with gold scrolling work whereas the sides are decorated with a gold and silver waving ornament.
The box is constructed from 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 composition and the box rests on four legs. It is signed with the name of the artist and the village of Palekh.
