Description: This exquisite piece, painted with rare ornamental originality, was composed by talented Fedoskino artist Marina Rogatova. Her color treatment is of masterful design. Skill finds itself loving companion as Marina's husband is famous Fedoskino artist Sergey S. Rogatov. Collaboration between these two would be a collectable envy.
The box shows the Christmas angel hovering over the sinful earth. The scene is set into an oval encompassed with a thin gold line. The palette that the artist uses contains a tremendous amount of radiance. A large mother-of-pearl inlay shines through the robe and the wings of the angel. Adding to this glow is the addition of aluminum paint to the oils used to paint the rest of the angel's robe and the garland that she is holding in her hands. Brilliant gold paint is used to paint the halo above the angel's head and to detail the garland.
The decoration around the composition is a classic compliment. A swirling pattern of gold leafed and flowered filigree surrounds the composition, and wraps around the box's sides.
The box is constructed out of quality paper-mach. The exterior of the piece is painted with a creamy white lacquer while the interior is painted with a deep red lacquer. The lid is hinged at the top of the composition 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.
