Ruslan & Ludmilla Doll 7pc./8"

This one-of-a-kind Russian fairy tale babushka relates the Pushkin's story poem "Ruslan and Ludmilla" through exquisite illustrations.  Completely hand painted, then delightfully trimmed with gold foil, this doll has a tremendous amount of artistry throughout.  I love the summery feel of the green shawl, evoking fields of young wheat in the Russia heartland.   Signed by artist Bugaeva, this matryoshka is a true find and great collector's item.
