This one-of-a-kind, 10-piece matryoshka is the work of master painter Nasonova. The scenes on the dolls' bellies illustrate Pushkin's famous poem "Ruslan & Lyudmila." The story tells of the beautiful Lyudmila, who is kidnapped by an evil wizard, and tbe brave knight Ruslan who comes to her rescue. Nasonova's attention to detail is amazing--each piece is a miniature work of art!
