This quit rare box is has been painted by Alexander Morozov of Kholui. Rare, because that was a period of time, when Kholui artists were working with oil-based paints. This subject (originally painted by Victor Vasnetsov in 1882) can be found in Russian State Museum of St.Petersburg and usually only Fedoskino artists who are working with oils were making such realistic paintings.
