A contemporary Russian lacquer box produced in the village of Fedoskino, featuring a hand-painted oil miniature by the artist Fedorov. The box is constructed from papier-mache with a polished black exterior and a traditional cinnabar-red interior. The lid depicts a Russian ballerina in a dynamic pose, wearing a green and gold tutu against a graduated blue and black background. The scene is framed by a gold-painted scroll border. The right edge of the lid bears a gold Cyrillic inscription reading Федоскино — Русская балерина — Федоров, transliterating as Fedoskino — Russkaya balerina — Fedorov, identifying the village of origin, the subject matter, and the artist. The painting employs the characteristic Fedoskino multilayered oil technique.
Length: 10 cm.
