Blossom Time

This charming box has been painted by talented Fedoskino artist Golovchonkov Oleg. It depicts a girl collecting the blossoming flowers from a tree. The scene is painted in light green, gray, white and brown oils.
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. Gold line is used to frame the scene, whereas the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines. The lid is hinged to the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's initials (G.O.).
