Description: Serene elegance. Relaxing atmospheric pleasures. Divine application. This gorgeous piece of authentic Russian artistry was created by well-established Fedoskino miniaturist Alexander Simonov. He has mastered the ability to create breath-taking landscapes that appeal to each and every aspect of our senses. Memorable art work that delivers us to location.
The work is called "Flying over Motherland", and features the couple of white wild geese flying over the picturesque expanses of Russian countryside. A scene like this, real or on an artist's canvas, always has a calming effect on the soul.
The scene is painted in different shades of green, brown and blue. There is infinite texture in the landscape. The structure of the trees is highly elaborate. Each and every leaf, detailed to perfection! There aretwo pieces of mother-of-pearl inlayed in the middle of composition.
The painting is framed with a golden line, as well as the sides are decorated with two parallel golden lines.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the piece while deep red lacquer completes the interior of the box. A hinge is fastened to the left of the composition, and the box rests flat. The work is signed and dated (2008) at the bottom of the composition in brown oils.
