Description:

Talented artist Konstantin Konovalov from the village of Palekh has painted this scene with a winter troika (three horse sleigh) speeding through the Russian countryside. Young lady hides from the snowstorm in the sleigh while a driver encourages the horses.
Gold paint is used to detail the sledge, the characters' costumes and the horses' harnesses, manes and tails. On the backstage in the middle of the composition we can see the church and the houses of a small village covered with snow. This work is simply amazing, full of very very thin details!
The scene is framed with a nice gold and silver dots ornament.The box's sides are decorated with rich gold and silver ornament.
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 to the top of the composition, and the box rests flat. The work is signed with the artist's name and the village of Palekh.
