Description: Ivanov from the village of Fedoskino is the artist who painted this box. It features the Snowmaiden strolling in the winter forest accompanied by the animals. This traditional for the Russian lacquer miniature scene is painted in an original manner as the action takes place not in the daytime but at night. The black lacquered background helps here not only to reproduce the night sky but also to paint more dramatically the snow-covered firs, trees and bushes. Silver metal powder shines through the Snowmaiden's costume creating a beautiful visual effect.
The scene is framed with a line painted in light grey oils; two parallel lines painted in light grey oils decorate the box's sides. The black lacquered exterior of the box is densely covered with light grey blurry spots to imitate the coloring of grey marble. The interior is traditionally red.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The lid is hinged from the left of the scene. The box rests upon a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name and the village of Fedoskino.
