Lacquer Box Evening Contemplation Inspired by Mucha traditional Russian babushka Christmas dolls they were the result ofThis gorgeous lacquer box has been handpainted in the Art Nouveau style. This style was inspired by Alphonse Mucha, a well known Czech painter, and decorative artist. His work frequently featured beautiful women in flowery neoclassic looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers, which sometimes formed halos behind the women's heads. Evening Contemplation from The Times of the Day Series is one of the best examples of Muchas vision of beauty.
