The handsome young Tsar accepts an apple from the beautiful and hardworking young girl. When her stepmother and stepsisters gave her seemingly impossible tasks, she enlisted the help of an enchanted cow. Her cruel stepfamily watches jealously as the girl's kind heart wins the Tsar. The scene is well painted in rich, creamy colors, with expressive faces. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the title, artist's name, and village. There is no hinge, and the interior is red lacquer. The flush base bears the Kholui insignia and the phrase "Made in Russia." A charming fairy tale work.--BOX1342
