A rather dashing English Spaniel seems to smile and pose for the camera near the water's edge, with a trio of ducks behind him. A colorful gold, silver, green and red ornament decorates the top and sides. The beautifully shaped high quality papier mache box has a hinge at the top and a red interior. Signed with the name of the artist (G. V. Dobrynina), village and title.
