Russian Authors Doll10pc./10" w/ issue

Note: We only have 1 of these left in stock, and it is imperfect.  A piece of the flared base at the foot of the doll was broken off, then glued back in place.   The result is that the imperfection is not noticeable except upon close inspection.  Our loss is your gain!

This hand-painted nesting doll is a must for fans of Russian literature. Includes detailed portraits of famous Russian authors, beginning with  Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Tolstoy, then on to Gogol, Lermontov, Chekov, Turgenev, Leskov, and finally Shedrin.  The 10th doll in the set, the smallest little doll no shown in this photo, features a writer's quill.  Outside doll is 10 inches tall. Matte finish.  An excellent, inspiring piece for the library. Makes you want to spend the afternoon with War and Peace, or Anna Karenina.  Quite the rare find, and at a great price!
