An exquisitely hand-painted Russian lacquer miniature box depicting Saint George astride a white horse, triumphing over the dragon in a fiery, gold-lit landscape.
Executed in the Palekh tradition, the composition is rendered in fine linear brushwork with jewel-like pigments and delicate gilt ornament tracing the oval border. The saint’s red cloak and haloed profile rise above a sinuous black-and-crimson dragon, creating dramatic contrast against the deep lacquer ground.
Surrounding narrative details and ornamental flourishes wrap the sides, continuing the storytelling beyond the lid. Signed by the artist in Cyrillic, this piece exemplifies late 20th-century Russian miniature painting, merging iconographic subject matter with refined decorative artistry in a compact collector’s format.
Artist Yuri Korenev
