This beautiful hand-painted Russian lacquer miniature was created by the famous artist Ruzheinik in the village of Fedoskino. Truly a Master of Fedoskino, Ruzheinik is now world renowned for her delicate miniatures of which "Innocence" is a unique,breathtaking example.

In "Innocence" Ruzheinik delightfully depicts two youthful fairies from the magical forests of Northern Siberia.

Ruzheinik's artistic technique extends well beyond his amazing ability to depict accurate colors. Ruzheinik painstakingly creates each of his works first as a unique shape and then as a hand-painted original miniature.
