Konstantin Bakhilin of Mstera is the artist who painted the composition on this box. It features a scene while one of the guys is running after the Troika, holding a hand in a hand of a young lady.
Egg-tempera paint is the primary medium used to paint the composition on this box. The palette used to paint this scene is full of bright and bold colors. Blue tones make up the majority of the scene, but warm colors are used effectively in the characters, which helps them to stand out more. The scene is well balanced and has a good compositional structure. The artist uses gold paint in the reigns of the troika and in the cupola of the church in the background.
The box is constructed out of high-quality paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the outside and red lacquer to paint the inside of the box. The artist decorates the box with intricate gold filigree that frames the scene and wraps around the box's sides. The box is not hinged and rests on a flat bottom. The artist signs his name, name of the work and the year 2004 on the bottom of the box.
