This beautiful piece of authentic Russian artistry was composed by the famous Kholuy artist, Yevgeniy Dobrin. Here he has drawn a picturesque view of his native village of Kholuy, where he was born and resides at present. The scene is perfectly painted, and exudes the artist's deep love to his village.
Various shades of green are used here extensively. Gold is used to paint the crosses on the churches, to highlight the roofs and some of the trees. Aluminum paint is used to create motion of the river.
The scene is framed with a nice gold pattern. More complex ornamentation drawn in gold and accented with aluminum can be found on the box's sides.
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 top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Kholuy, and the title ("The Village of Kholuy").
