Prokofyev

This box is based on the same plot as O. Repkina’s box; however, several scenes from the tale are represented, such as the conversation between the merchant and the Beast when the merchant promises to come back in return for the flower, and the scenes in the Beast’s enchanted palace. The compositions of the scenes are very simple, and few of the traditional features of Palekh painting are present.
