Early Spring

Sergey Kirsanov from the village of Fedoskino is known as a talented landscape painter. Being enchanted with the beauty of Russian nature in winter, he created a series of works painted on this theme. Each of them is perceptively and realistically painted showing a peculiar charm of Russian countryside. This work continues this series, and depicts a small Russian village in the early spring. Brown and gray tones suitable for the reproduction of the early spring dullness predominate here. Mother-of-pearl is set into the sky to create a golden glow of the sunset! Looks like the first birds are coming back-we can see them in the sky over the village.
The scene is framed with a gold line. The box's bottom is covered with black lacquer; the interior is traditionally red.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The box has a hinge from the top of the composition, and rests on two-lined bottom. Signed with the artist's name.
