This museum quality set of Matryoshka nesting dolls is hand crafted and painted by a famous Russian artist and is personally selected from the artists that we have worked with for many years.

These Matryoshka nesting dolls represent the most sacred religious motive – the Nativity scene. The author's unique childlike mannner of painting combined with the rich color-palette attribute this set of Matryoshka nesting dolls to finest examples of Russian artwork. Virgin Mary and baby Jesus pictured in the first Matryoshka nesting dolls are painted in living watercolors: Mary wearing her traditional deep blue cape and infant Jesus lying on a snow-white cloth in the crib. The rest of the Matryoshka nesting dolls display the angels, bringing the good news to people around the world.   

The artist has payed attention to the subltlest details, applying gold leaf for Mary's and Jesus's halos and the brooch on Mary's cape. The angels' faces in these Matryoshka nesting dolls are portrayed as those of children, thus making the motive of this set of Matryoshka nesting dolls comprehensible even to the youngest viewers. Tender hues of the cherubs' garments – from misty rose, celadon and floral white to the corn-golden hair and wings of rainbow dyes – all these shades make this set of Matryoshka nesting dolls a joy to look at.

If you wish to make a lovely and meaningful gift for Christmas or any other religious occasion, these Matryoshka nesting dolls will undoubtedly be the best choice.
