This beautiful hand-painted Russian lacquer miniature was created by the famous artist Khomotinikova in the village of Fedoskino, with contemporary styling.

The setting of Khomotinikova's Snow Maiden and Friends is a brisk afternoon in a largs snow covered clearing. The young maiden is enjoying a day away from her village in the company of her friends.

Significant in Khomotinikova's snowmaiden and Friends is the exquisite detail work within the young girls clothing as well as in the detail work on the side of the box. Each minute line is a single brush stroke from Khomontinikova's hand.
