Description:

This is a style of miniature painting pioneered in Mstera primarily by Yevgeniy Yurin. In the mid-30s he created an original style of decorative painting that came to be known as the "Yurin ornament". He then focused on compositions themselves, painting a bouquet of flowers, fruits or berries set against a brown, black, green or blue grid and encircled on all sides with his ornaments of interlaced scrolls, starlets, spots, petals and leaflets.
This style has been handed down to skilled artists in Mstera today such as Yuriy Zhigalov who come to specialize in this unique style of painting floral compositions. Yuriy Alexandrovich produced various original works that were participants of exhibitions all over Russia, and ten miniatures by the painter have received first prizes.
In this scene a bouquet of varied flowers - daisies and roses, along with all sorts of greenery are painted in metal gold paints, subdued reds and greens against the blue background. The scene is set into a circle; the rest space of the lid is decorated with intricate floral patterns painted against the dark crimson background. These patters are drawn in gold metal paints and highlighted with blue and red tempera paints. The box sparkles with the gold detailing.
More bouquets can be found on the box's sides painted against the dark crimson band.
