This charming small lacquer box, crafted in the village of Fedoskino, captures a quiet, nostalgic moment of Russian country life. The hand-painted scene shows a young girl in traditional clothing standing in a golden autumn forest, gazing upward as she gathers a vibrant bouquet of fallen leaves. The trees above her form a colorful canopy of reds, oranges, and yellows, beautifully highlighted against the dark lacquer background. Characteristic of the Fedoskino style, the box features soft, realistic shading and a delicate use of metallic accents to give the foliage a gentle shimmer. It’s a tender celebration of the beauty of nature and the fleeting magic of fall.

On the bottom of the composition is written the artist's name, village and year.  On the bottom of the box itself are the words "Made in USSR". The box is in excellent condition with no significant cracks or flaws.
