With this box talented Boris Shavirin is continuing the series of the boxes on the everyday life of Russians in the 18-19th centuries.
In the foreground he has painted a fellow with harmonica with two girls walking on the major street of the village. Looking at this scene the viewer can easily imagine how the citizens of Russia looked like several centuries ago.There is no work in the field or garden, so the young men are having fun...
Light blue and gray tones of oils suitable for depiction of a winter scene predominate here. The costumes of the characters are decorated richly with brilliant gold patterns. Metal gold inlays can be found in the cupolas of the cathedral painted in the foreground.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer with bronze paint covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the top 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 2013.
