In late winter and spring male black grouses gather on the forest glades, where they compete for the females. The black games arrive from miles around to display communally and fight to establish possession of the most valuable territory.
This piece has been created by the eminent Fedoskino landscape painter, Vladimir Serdodetskov. This talented artist loves nature with all his heart, and this love is reflected in his exquisite works.
The scene is painted in various shades of green oils over gold metal powder that helps to create a sparkle of the sky, and its reflection on the puddle. The edges of the lid are decorated with a gold line. Two parallel gold lines wrap around the box's sides.
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 top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the year of 2007 and the village of Fedoskino.
