Description:
This exquisite portrait of a girl wearing a bonnet was painted by well-known Fedoskino artist Sergey Golubyonkov. The portrait is masterfully executed--tone, shade and light are perfect. Particularly impressive is the fine detail of the girl's face and her clothes.
A thin gold line is used to frame the edges of the lid while two parallel gold lines decorate the box's sides.
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. A hinge is fastened to the left of the portrait, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name and the village of Fedoskino.
