Fedoskino miniature is a traditional Russian lacquer painting known since the 18th century. Layers of oil paint, compact brushwork and fine "transparent" strokes are a feature of a Fedoskino miniature. The use of mother-of-pearl, gold or silver leaf creates the effect of a shimmering glow. Most of the Fedoskino papier-mâché wares have a black background on the outside and are covered inside with scarlet, bright-red or cherry-colored lacquer. Several layers of pasted cardboard, boiled in linseed oil and then repeatedly dried in a hot oven, form a hard, light and waterproof material that can be cut, polished and lacquered.

Miniature artists created and copied themes which were sold in separate sheets and albums. The theme of troika-riding became so popular that it became an emblem of the craft.

In the 1920s, Fedoskino themes reflected the political and cultural life of the Soviet Union.

Throughout the 1940s and 1950s artists focused on copying works by renowned Russian artists and turning to Russian tales.

 Landscape miniatures became popular in the 1960s.

The 1980s and 90s enriched ornamentation of boxes.

Fedoskino painters continue to develop miniature painting by introducing new themes as well as historical and ethnographic.

Contemporary Fedoskino miniature is as versatile as contemporary art, because it is alive and changes with time.
