Reading

This very detailed piece was painted by a talented Fedoskino artist Nazarova Margarita. It show an older Jew reading a book to a young boy.
The style of the painting of Nazarova is very soft and recognizable!
The scene is framed with a gold line; the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines.
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. A hinge is fastened to the left of the scene, and the box rests flat. The work is signed with the artist's name and Fedoskino 2013.
