Description:

This interesting work is a creation of the popular Fedoskino artist, Pavel Govorun. Here he depicts a scene from Lewis Carroll's (1832-1898) classic tale "Alice in Wonderland". After eating some food or drinking some liquid Alice's height changed. Sometimes she became enormous like a giantess and sometimes she became little like a Lilliputian. In this scene Alice can't get out of the Rabbit's house as she has become enormous after drinking the magic beverage from the little bottle left on the round table.
The artist focuses a viewer's attention on Alice. Her face and gestures express her wish to get out the house because there is a little spare space for such a big girl in the cozy Rabbit's house.
The scene demonstrates the unique style of Pavel Govorun. Blue, brown and white tones of oils predominate here. Silver powder shines through Alice's dress. 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 left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the year of 2009, and Fedoskino.
