LARGE HAND CARVED AND PAINTED RUSSIAN SANTA ART BY G. DE BREKHT - $470 - (Pueblo, CO)
EACH RUSSIAN SANTA IS UNIQUE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT IS MADE ENTIRELY BY HAND FROM START TO FINISH. IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND THESE LARGE SANTA FIGURES. THE RICHLY PAINTED SCENE IS OF RUSSIAN CHILDREN IN THE VILLAGE OF LONG AGO. THE COLORS ARE SOFT AND NATURAL IN OLD WORLD CLASSIC ART, AND ATTENTION IS PAID TO THE SLIGHTEST DETAILS ON THEIR FACES. THE RUSSIAN ARTIST HAS PAINTED A SCENE ALL AROUND THIS SANTA IN A CIRCULAR PATTERN THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. THE DOVE IS SEPARATELY CARVED AND ATTACHED SO THAT IT CAN BE POSITIONED AS YOU CHOOSE. THE SANTA HAS BRIGHT AND MERRY EYES AND THE DETAILS OF THE CARVED SHAWL OF HIS COAT AND FUR OF THE HAT IS INCREDIBLE. NOTE ALSO THE DETAILED CARVING OF HIS BEARD.THIS IS A TRUE MASTERPIECE THAT SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ALL YEAR LONG. THE SANTA IS 14"TALL 6" AT THE BASE X 3.5"DEEP. IT IS ALSO SIGNED AND NUMBERED (7/100)BY THE ARTIST A. De Brekht.
