This interesting work has been painted by the talented Fedoskino artist Natalya Orlova. The Russian chastushka (limerick) has been chosen by the artist as a theme for this work. This chastushka can be translated into English as “The Old Woman had two jolly Geese, - the Black Goose and the White Goose…”.
The Old Woman and her geese are painted against the beautiful background filled with the bright sunflowers hanging down the fence. Mother-of-pearl shines through the feathers of both geese, and through a part of the Old Woman's dress.
Twigs of a wicker fence painted in oils wrap around the scene as an original frame. The wicker fence and the sunflowers hanging down it, also painted in oils, can be found wrapping around the box's sides. The box's exterior imitates the coloring of red marble (pink veins are scattered against the crimson background); the interior is traditionally red.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The hinge is placed to the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, and the title.
