Description:

The art heritage of the great Russian painter, Konstantin Makovsky, inspires many Fedoskino artists to create copies of his masterpieces. This gorgeous box shows a version of the famous painting "Boyaryshnya Sitting at the Window and Spinning Yarn" painted by Konstantin Makovsky in 1890. This famous painting is exhibited in the Art Museum of the town of Nizhny Novgorod.
The scene is masterfully painted in the realistic style. Gold powder is mixed with oils to accentuate richness of the boyaryshnya's costume and her headwear (kokoshnik).
The box's sides are decorated with intricate floral ornamentation painted in gold.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. A hinge is fastened to the left of the scene, and the box rests flat. The work is signed with the artist's initials (A.K.- Alexander Kriger), and the year of 2014.
