This unique and fascinating composition is from the mind and workbench of Daniil Molodkin from Mstera. His works are always notable for fantastic representation of different subjects and bright, multicolored coloring. Having painted this unusual scene, Daniil continues his series of works showing fantastic creatures - little blue dwarfs who live in grass world act absolutely like people do. They live in towns, and have different professions. They can be hunters, scientists, fishermen, doctors, etc. This scene, for example, shows the dwarfs-builders who finish to build the pyramid. One of them is an architect who holds drafts in his hands, and heads the work of two builders. It is very interesting why the dwarfs build the pyramid. May be they do it trying to carry out an experiment, or this pyramid may be a part of landscape design.
The artist uses a wide array of blues, greens, and earthtones to convey the natural setting in the scene. He also uses yellows, oranges, reds, and tones that help create the stylized atmosphere that make Daniil's compositions uniquely his own. Gold is also used in the composition to detail the clothing of the gnomes, some of the plants, the sun, and the architecture.
This work is called "A Little Stone", may be because the builders build the pyramid using little stones. On the box's bottom the artist has written in gold his name, the title of the work, the village of Mstera, and the year of 2005. A little above he has drawn in gold the beautiful plant, and wrote the following verse written by Emily Dickinson:

"How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone, And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears -
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity
