Village of Ivanovo

This picturesque summer landscape with the river has been painted by Dmitry Bebikhov. The magical beauty of Russian countryside has been beautifully captured in this exquisite work. The work is called "Village of Ivanovo" and might shows the time when the large today's city of Ivanovo was a small village. City of Ivanovo is located in about 300 km/200 miles to the East from Moscow.
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. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the name of the artist, the title "Village of Ivanovo" and the village of Fedoskino.
