Description: Galina Dubovikova created this splendid portrait of a young boyarynya looking dreamily at distance. She has worn her best jewelry to meet the guests in all her beauty.
The artist has splendidly painted the festive costume of the boyarynya that reflects the fashion of medieval Russia. The soft brown background tones beautifully with the brown eyes of the depicted model.
The scene 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 box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The lid is hinged from the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name and the village of Fedoskino.
