Description:

This beautiful small box has been painted by the Fedoskino artist Morozova E.A. The scene shows a peasant and a peasant woman standing near the well. They are talking and laughing. Perhaps they are discussing some village rumors.
The palette of this composition is toned down and subdued to show a winter evening scene. Both characters take dominion over their surroundings, which play an important role in creating a real and natural context for them. Gold metallic foil beneath the layers of paint, shines through in some areas to create a light source from within. With the help of gold foil the artist creates the effect of alight window and also decorates the elements of clothing. The entire drawing is very-well drawn.
The shape of the box is unusual; the composition is painted on the small platform. Owing to this platform, the composition is salient; it seems to come forward at the viewer while the sides of the lid act like a frame. The edges of the lid are adorned with an intricate gold pattern. The similar pattern wraps around the sides of the box but it is a little bit bigger in size. The box is signed with the name of the artist, village and year (2001). The interior also includes the Fedoskino "troika" insignia stamped in orange paint on the roof of the lid.
