Nesting doll Sergiev-Posad 5 pcs. grandmother with the hen

Especially interesting are those nesting dolls that are created on basis of the our most famous painters’ K.S. Petrov-Vodkin and B.M. Kustodiev works. No matter how remote modern images seem to be from these classic prototypes you can guess the Madonna by Petrov-Vodkin, that is close to iconographic interpretation, or the plump, full-breasted merchant woman by Kustodiev. These matrioshka dolls are very picturesque.
