Description: This splendid view of the St.-Basil's Cathedral has been painted by the talented Fedoskino artist Konstantin Shevalkin.
Shevalkin has used bright red tones of oils to paint the cathedral whereas the buildings located in the background are painted in light grey and blue tones. This creates the depth of the composition, and focuses the viewer's attention on the cathedral. A large piece of mother-of-pearl shines brightly through the architecture of the cathedral. Additional luster of the cathedral comes from gold and silver paints. The gold paint is used to highlight the clouds in the sky.
The scene is outlined with gold. The box's sides are decorated with elegant tartan patterns painted in blue and red oils and outlined with gold.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the piece. The lid is hinged from the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. Signed with the artist's name, the village Fedoskino and the year of 2007.
