This exquisite portrait of a girl wearing a bonnet was painted by Marina Chikvasova of Fedoskino. The portrait is masterfully executed--tone, shade and light are perfect. Particularly impressive is the fine detail of the girl's face and her clothes. A thin gold line is used to frame the portrait while two parallel gold lines wrap around the box's sides.
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. A hinge is fastened to the left of the portrait, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name.
