This composition is painted by talented Kholui artist Larisa Poturayko. It depicts a scene from the classic fairy-tale "Thumbelina" written by Hans Christian Andersen.
Thumbelina was a tiny girl who was born from a flower. During the story she has many adventures, and meets many animals, some of them her friends and some of them not so nice. For a long time she is lonely, but she befriends a swallow who takes her away to a warm country where she meets a fairy prince. The prince takes her as his bride and they live happily ever after. This miniature shows animals that weren't friendly towards Thumbelina. Some of them, including the beetle depicted in the right left corner, the mole, depicted in the bottom left corner, the frog painted in the right bottom corner, wanted to marry the beautiful Thumbelina. But owing to the help of kind animals, the swallow and the butterfly, which is depicted in the upper right corner, Thumbelina became the Princess of Elves, and the bride of a handsome Prince.
