Description: This bright box has been created by Natalya Brovkina from the village of Palekh. Natalia graduated from the Palekh Art School in 1987, where she studied under Gordeev, A.V. Borunov, N. Vikhrev and Nemtinov.
The box shows a merry, festive scene. The kids are dressed like a bear, cosmonaut, hares, snowflakes, snowmaiden, clowns, and are dancing in front of New Year's tree with Father Frost. On the right side we can see an accordion player.
The composition is painted in traditional Palekh style. The faces and figures are nicely paint and in good proportion. With a light hand and single-hair brush, Brovkina applies metallic gold and silver lines in such a fine manner that the scene glows and sparkles at the same time!
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work.
The lid is hinged from the top of the composition, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Palekh and the year of 2013.
