Description:

Fedoskino Artist Topiricheva has painted this wonderful winter scene.
The scene shows a cold winter day, but village girls and lads are not afraid of frost. All of them left their warm houses, and came to the snowy hill to sledge and have fun together. Rushing down the hill at breathtaking speed, the girls scream and yell, while the lad want to sledge more faster.
The palette Topiricheva uses incorporates warm yellows, browns, whites and blues. Natural light is created in the scene by mixing aluminum paint into the oils. This creates the brilliance of snow, the depth of the sky, and decorates costumes of characters. The people and their facial expressions are depicted as if they were real, which adds to the life-like action permeating from the scene.
It is a wonderful painting executed like a snapshot of an intimate scene in a truly Russian Winter!
The sides of the box are decorated with a flowered pattern of profound golden filigree.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The box has a hinge from the left of the composition and rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the year of 1988 and the village of Fedoskino.
