Pavel Sladkov from the village of Fedoskino is the author of this beautiful scene. Here he has managed to express an exciting moment in nature when the first snow has fallen on the ground. The trees are still covered with fiery orange foliage that contrasts dramatically with the fresh white snow. This contrast is strengthened by the brilliant gold paint that is used to highlight the foliage of the trees and its reflection on the water.
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 edges of the lid and the box's sides are decorated with gold beads. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name.
