This Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls set features different kinds of daffodils beautifully hand pained by the Russian artist from Simbirsk.
Each Babushka Nesting Doll depicts a girl carrying a lovely bouquet of white and yellow flowers, surrounded by green leaves, which are also called as narcissuses. Today, people associate this elegant, bright, yellow flower as a symbol of rebirth - a sign of the new beginnings that come with spring. Indeed, the daffodil is the birthday flower for March, the month in which the spring equinox begins. No wonder that daffodils are widely used in Russian fine art not only on Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls, but also in egg painting, very often Russians tambour narcissuses on towels, table clothes, and napkins. On 8th of March, International Women’s Day that is widely celebrated in Russia, men usually present women with lovely bouquets of these tender flowers.
No doubt, this gorgeous set of Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls is a true sample of Russian fine art. Complex and affected ornament of each Babushka Doll was painted with firm artist’s strokes, made by his sure hand. Though the Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls are richly decorated with exquisite patterns, they are not overwhelmed with them. All the decorations look accurate and seem to be on the right place.
All Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls are painted in traditional Russian costumes: long sarafans (Russian dresses), snow-white shifts with delicate ornaments tamboured on the sleeves, magnificent kerchiefs, masterfully decorated with floral prints and golden laces, and golden kokoshniks.
A great attention was also put to Matryoshka’s faces: large green eyes with long dark lashes, fresh rosy lips and cheeks will definitely make the viewer admire the dolls.
The color palette is warm. On these Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls red, yellow, golden and brown colors dominate. Probably because warm colors remind us of a spring, a season when first spring flowers – narcissuses – appear.
