Santas for sale # 32
This large and magnificent hand carved Russian Santa has a wonderfully painted scene of the Russian countryside in winter at
sunset.  The Father Frost figure holds a very large lantern in one hand a staff in his other hand.  The back of the cloak is
painted with great detail in the design.  The face of the Russian Santa is exquisitely carved by hand by the master carver.   The
face on this Father Frost is very beautiful; look at his rosy cheeks and lifelike expression.  His hat is tilted to one side and his
mittens also have a very detailed design painted on them.  The artists has used many coats of paint to achieve these muted
colors in the scenery and on the back of the cloak.  The staff is also finely carved and decorated.

This amazing wooden Russian Santa is entirely carved by hand and painted by hand in Russia, in Sergiev Posad.  The artist
chooses the blank forms from the master carver and then decides which theme or pictures to paint on the form.  The artist has
created a huge Father Frost overlooking the forest scene with the prince and the snow maiden in the wintry landscape of the
Russian countryside.  The artist then puts a very light matte finish over the paintings which further enhances their beauty.  
This piece is a real work of art and has so many paintings on it that you can look at it for quite a while!
