Description: This specific subject was painted by the talented artist Konovalova Valentina from the village of Palekh. Here she has chosen to depict a scene from the village life, two guys went to the ice fishing.
The box shows these two guys sitting on the ice of the frozen river.They already have some success, there are several fishes on the ice near them.On the background we can see village houses, located on the bank of the river.
Gold paint is used to detail the characters' costumes, snow-covered hills and houses in the village. This work is full of very thin details!
The scene is framed with a nice golden dot ornament.The box's sides are decorated with a scroll work in gold.
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 to the top of the composition, and the box rests on the six wavy legs.
The work is signed with the artist's name and the village of Palekh.
