Description:

Aleshina Nadezhda is the artist who painted this box painted on a religious theme. The artist has painted two Russian girls, going to a Church on a Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is a Christian feast that always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. In Russia it is also called as "Willow Sunday", because willow is the very first tree that start blossoming in Spring in Central Part of Russia.
Light blue and grey tones of oils suitable for depiction of a winter scene predominate here. The costumes of the characters are decorated richly with gold patterns. Gold and aluminum metal leaf inlay can be found in the costumes of the depicted ,young ladies and in the cupolas of the cathedral painted in the foreground.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The scene is framed with a simple gold pattern. The lid is hinged from the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name.
