Daniil Molodkin is one of the most popular Mstera artists around nowadays. His grassmen theme is a favorite with all types of collectors. The success of this series by the artist can be attributed to his want to make something fresh and not something that has already been made before.
The work is entitled "The Seller of Blue Bugcatchers", and shows the artist's fantasy on this theme. A Hunter's big basket is filled with blue dwarfs called 'blue bugcatchers", and he sells one of them to a Customer. The background is filled with various plants, flowers, and masterfully painted insects. Bright green, blue and orange tones help to create the stylized atmosphere that make Daniil's compositions uniquely his own. Gold as always is used to enhance the details.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The scene is outlined with gold. A gold foliage pattern decorates the edges of the lid, and this same pattern (only bigger in size) decorates the sides of the box. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and the box rests on four legs. The work is signed with the artist's name, Mstera, and the title.
