The second is used to depict the woman's clothing, her face, and the light strip on the dog. The doorway on the porch acts as an internal frame that balances out the scene. Detail is added by using strong brushstrokes that give shape to the images. The artist creates a dynamic between the woman and the dog that brings a unique quality to he box. 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.
The box has an almost flawless finish and its youthful appearance is a result of a recent refinishing done to the box by a Fedoskino lacquer expert. A slight crack on the upper left edge of the lid is visible, but does not take away from the value of this piece due to its age. The box has a hinge to its left and rests on a flat bottom. Upon completing the work on this piece the artist writes Fedoskino and signs his name, faintly, at the bottom of the scene.
