A finely executed Russian lacquer box of circular form, decorated with a vibrant hand-painted scene inspired by the fairy tale of the Prince and the Frog. The lid features a seated young man dressed in traditional folk costume, gazing curiously at a crowned green frog perched in his hand, surrounded by a glowing, enchanted woodland setting. The imagery is rendered in vivid tones of orange, green, and gold, with delicate shading and fine brushwork typical of Palekh or Fedoskino-style artistry. The box is finished in deep black lacquer with a striking red interior, and its smooth, high-gloss surface enhances the richness of the painted scene. The base is plain and unsigned. Measuring 2.75 inches in diameter and about 1 inch high, this compact form is ideal for trinkets, jewelry, or display. This piece captures the charm and magical realism that defines Russian lacquer miniature art, with a theme rooted in Slavic folklore and executed with traditional materials and techniques.
