This portrait is a version of the famous painting "Boyarinya bearing a tray" painted by Konstantin Makovskiy. Works dedicated to a peasant way of life were very popular in 19th century in Russia. The world-famous Russian painters Tropinin, Argunov, Alexeev and many others created their masterpieces on this theme. And this box is a splendid example of how Russian lacquer miniature artists are able to bring hand-painted masterpieces into common people's homes.
