Sergey Parmeonov of Fedoskino painted the winter landscape on this really beautiful box. The fresh snow blankets the ground and although the wind is still, you can feel the cold bite of the evening on your skin. The snow reflects the last light of the setting sun. The beauty of a small Russian village is masterfully expressed here. Dark blue tones of oils help to represent a quiet, winter evening. A piece of mother-of-pearl is set into the sky to create a sparkle of the sunset. Aluminum paint is used to reproduce brilliance of the icy river. The scene is framed with a gold line; the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines. 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. A hinge is fastened to the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed by the artist.
