The girl has brighter colors within her clothing so as to make her stand out. The sky in the background is painted with a mixture of aluminum powder and oils that blend and transition up from yellow to blue. This gives the scene a light source that radiates from behind the tree and off the box. The girl's clothing also uses aluminum powder in the paints, but not as much. The box is constructed out of paper-mache made in the village of Fedoskino.
Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box.
This box is over 50 years old and the lacquer for the most part has evaporated to reveal the artist's brushwork and cracking paint. There are abrasions on the bottom of the box. The box has a hinge to its left and rests on a flat bottom. Upon completing the work on this box the artist writes Fedoskino, and signs his name at the bottom of the composition.
