Description:

Sergey Dmitriyev of Kholuy painted this beautiful box. His art and his style are a product of self evolution which he has worked very hard on. He has made himself into a great artist by using his God-given talents to their fullest. It isn't surprising that his work gets better with every painting he completes.
The box shows a final scene from the Russian fairy-tale “Sivka-Burka”. Ivan gives a magnificent leap, high up into the air. The reason of it is the tsar's daughter caprice. She sits in the highest balcony of the highest tower in the kingdom and lays down her conditions. Whoever is able to reach the balcony from the ground and can kiss her wonderful lips will be her bridegroom. Having heard this announcement, many young men from all nooks of the kingdom decide to try their luck. Ivan is the only one who manages to fulfill this task. Here he reaches the balcony riding the magical Sivka-Burka.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The work is signed by the author.
