Fedoskino Hand Painted Russian Lacquer Box Winter Scene w/ Mother of Pearl Inlay

Description

Fedoskino Russian Lacquer Box Winter Scene with Mother of Pearl Inlay in the pond and in the sky next to the towers. Lovely composition.
The village of Fedoskino (Федоскино), located not far from Moscow on the banks of the Ucha River, is the oldest of the four art centers of Russian lacquer miniature painting on papier-mâché, which has been practiced there since 1795. It stands apart both geographically, and in that that oil paints are used rather than egg tempera. While allowing the artist a free hand in impressionistic interpretation, the style of Fedoskino painting is largely realistic in composition and detail.
