Girl in Kokoshnik * Phoenix

Description:

"The portrait of a girl in Kokoshnik" This is the portrait of a girl in a typical Russian headdress, the kokoshnik. The inspiration for this fountain pen was drawn from the Russian painter Konstantin Makovsky (1839-1915), who created several paintings on the theme of girls wearing a kokoshnik.

The Russian artist Danshina is one of the best contemporary Fedoskino artists who has perfectly mastered the much sought-after 17th-18th century painting techniques. This pen is a beautiful example with very fine details: the gentle face, the finely-shaped hands, the drape of the dress, the details of the kokoshnik, the lighting effects… Each pen is round and limited in surface area making this a real masterpiece.
