Description:
Elegantly painted to match the theme of the composition, this box features some of the more recognizable landmarks in Moscow. The Kremlin walls contain the Grand Kremlin Palace, the Armory and historic Cathedral Square. Towers, cupolas and crosses abound in this realistically painted scene. The detail here is very good, and the artist has not compromised anything to the size of the box or to the use of egg-tempera paint. Great use of gold to create a shimmering effect. Note: the white oval in the center is from the cam- era flash and is not in the actual painting.Box created by Dmitriev of Kholuy.
