Kholuy miniature

[1] This form of Russian lacquer art is produced exclusively by students of the Kholuy school.

[4] Subjects for Kholuy miniatures vary from Russian fairy tales (e.g. Snowmaiden) to cities.

Kholuy miniatures seem to be less bounded by tradition than the boxes from Palekh, Fedoskino and Mstyora.

Their color palette predominantly features yellow, orange, red, brown, and rich shades of blue and green.

Contrasting combinations of warm and cool tones are a characteristic feature of Kholuy lacquer painting.
