The famous Mstera artist Anatoly Shirokov created this marvelous painting depicting a celebration of a village Wedding.
In the middle of the composition bridegroom and a bride among the lads and girls sing songs merrily. In the right bottom corner two women are clapping their hands. A little above relatives are inviting people to drink a glass of wine and tea from samovar. Everybody is happy, merry and drunk a little bit.
The palette for this composition is chosen due to the summer setting. Shirokov has perfectly combined shades of blue and yellow to create a stunning atmosphere of a sunny day. Gold and aluminum paint is used to add detail and enhance the colors, which gives the scene great clarity and richness.
The composition is outlined with gold paint, and then framed by gold beads. Gold beads can be also found wrapping around the bottom part of the box's sides. The box's sides are adorned with a rich pattern painted in tempera paints, and detailed with gold and aluminum paint. In the middle of each side Shirokov has painted a small scene depicting birds and happiness.
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. A hinge has been fastened along the top of the composition and the box rests on four legs. The work is signed with the artist's name, Mstera and the title "Village Wedding".
