Description: This is one more charming creation of the talented Fedoskino artist Tatyana Dmitrieva. Each of her works always looks festive and bright. It is a real pleasure to contemplate her unique boxes that shine like gems.
The box shows a young man dressed like a harlequin who crosses a dark hall holding a lamp in his hands. He is one of the guests who has been invited to visit a sumptuous fancy-dress ball arranged in the palace. < br>
The scene is painted in bright oils against the dark blue background. Dark blue tone of oils has been also chosen to cover the rest part of the box's exterior. Lustrous gold paint is used to detail the costume of the depicted character, to create a light source around the lamp, and to paint the shining tiny stars and very thin lines scattered throughout the scene. The similar gold stars and thin lines can be also found on the box's sides and its exterior bottom. The box's interior is traditionally covered with red lacquer.
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 2008 on the lid's interior.
