Дымковская глиняная игрушка / Figurine "Lady with a dog in a red jacket"

City lady in a fluffy skirt with ruffles. There is a hat on his head. In the hands of a little puppy.

The craft of making Dymkovo toys has existed for over 400 years. Interestingly, it formed immediately as a toy craft, bypassing pottery. For several centuries of its existence, masters from generation to generation have retained the basics of craftsmanship, the basic canons of sculpting and decoration, but they have brought a lot of new things. When it became fashionable in Russia to decorate interiors with figures of people, the expression “dresser doll” came to life. Of course, the most desirable figures were porcelain - ladies, hussars, couples, but they were too expensive. Masters of various types of crafts began to make their own dolls. This Dymkovo Lady with a dog is just a wonderful example of a “dresser toy”. Stately, elegant - this doll is not for playing, but rather for decoration in the house. Julia Dvinyaninova is a relatively young master, but with merit. She boldly experiments, while not deviating from tradition. Pay attention to how the skirt is made, how the tails are beautifully uniformly distributed. A lady with great taste is painted, not too bright, the selection of colors is harmonious. About her we can say, "in red tones." Bright cheeks, as if from a frost, a hood with gold, a funny dog - everything is expressive and with character. In the manufacture, according to tradition, gold leaf is used. To give the paint a gloss, egg yolk is added to it.
