Lacquer miniatures rank as one of the most original and diverse handicrafts that developed in keeping with century old traditions. It takes around 6 months for the artist to make this lacquer casket. This box is made of paper-mâché which could be shaped into widely diverse forms. It is painted with tempera (pigment) painting and golden powder. This box is lacquered about 8-10 times.
This painting is made in bright colors with combinations of blue and white. That’s how the city looks on a good sunny day. And St. Isaac’s Cathedral is pictured as a dominant architectural feature, rising above St. Petersburg.
