Description: Tatyana Dmitrieva always creates very attractive boxes, and this piece is not exception. It shows the jester playing the lute. The jester's costume is painted in bright oils and detailed with brilliant gold paint. Gold paint is mixed with the oils creating a sparkle of the jester's shirt, his shoes and his lute. The patterns on the table-cloth, and some of the tiles on the floor also shine with gold. The background is drawn in pale tones of oils to focus the viewer's attention on the jester.
The box's exterior imitates the coloring of a stone (silver blurry spots are painted over the box's black lacquered exterior). The interior is traditionally red. The scene is framed with a gold line.
The box is constructed out of paper-mache. 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, Fedoskino and the year of 2007.
