This marvelous specimen of Fedoskino realism has been painted by Guseva. It is based on the biblical subject, and shows a scene of exodus of the Jews from Egypt.
Guseva managed not only to paint skillfully the human figures, but also to reproduce the emotions of people who are forced to leave their homes, and seek their happiness in far lands. Their faces reflect such emotions as fear, sorrow, and despair. Refined oil-painting technique gives this piece depth and life.
The scene is framed with a gold line. Two parallel gold lines decorate the box's sides.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the piece while red lacquer completes the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the top of the composition, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed by the artist.
