This large box is a creation of the prominent Fedoskino painter Marya Wagner. It is called "Entertaining Tsaritsa", and features a circus actor giving a performance to the young tsaritsa. A monkey is playing the balalaika, and the parrot is singing to the monkey's music.
For this scene the artist chose the rich, bright palette. Gold and aluminum paints were used as an under layer for the oils to make the colors brighter and to fill the scene with a magic sparkle.
The box's exterior imitates a stone color: light gray veins are scattered against the darker background. The interior is covered with red lacquer.Sides of the box has four different still-life paintings!
The box is constructed out of paper-mache. The box has a hinge above the composition, and rests on four legs. The work is signed with the artist's name and the village of Fedoskino.
