Description:

This exquisite portrait of a noble woman was painted by Yevgeniy Dokuchaev of Fedoskino. He graduated from Fedoskino Art School in 1962, and in 1976 from the Moscow Higher Art Industrial College (former Stroganov School). This artist differs from his peers in that he sticks strictly to the traditional Stroganov and Fedoskino styles. His favorite themes to depict are portraits. It's easy to see why, because he has a great talent in creating realistic textures, shading, and tone.
The portrait is painted in the realistic style and bears a resemblance to the paintings, typical for the Russian art of the 18th and 19th centuries. The woman depicted here was one of the beauties of her time, and no doubt captivated many suitors at balls. Her appearance is very romantic and dreamy. By adding a gradation between dark and light grey in the background the artist creates subtle depth of the composition and illuminates the image with tender, even light.
The composition is framed with a gold line. Two parallel gold lines decorate the box's sides.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the work while red lacquer completes the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the left of the composition. The box rests upon a flat bottom. The work is signed by Ye. Dokuchaev.
