Hand-painted Russian lacquer box depicting a lively troika winter scene with three galloping horses and riders crossing a snowy landscape. The miniature is executed in the traditional Fedoskino style, known for its realistic compositions, depth and finely detailed brushwork. The dynamic movement of the horses and the winter landscape create an atmospheric and expressive scene typical for Russian lacquer miniatures. The box is made of papier-maché with a black lacquer exterior and a characteristic red lacquer interior, a traditional feature of Russian lacquerware produced during the Soviet period. The painting is signed in Cyrillic in the lower right corner (likely Tikhonov) and the base is marked “Made in USSR.” The lacquer shows age-related craquelure (fine hairline cracks) on the lid, which is common for vintage lacquer pieces. The box remains structurally solid and displays well.
