Tatiana Gomzina is the author of this splendid portrait of a Norman peasant. The original of this work was painted on canvas by the outstanding French painter Paul Cezanne in 1890. This masterpiece is currently exhibited in the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg .
Paul Cezanne (1839 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter. Cezanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic inquiry, Cubism. Cezanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, color, composition and draftsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brush strokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable.
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 scene is framed with a gold line while the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines. The lid is hinged from the left of the portrait, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name.
