HISTORY OF MATRYOSHKA.
Matryoshka is a small wooden painted doll, inside of which are several of its smaller copies. The first prototype of the nesting doll was brought from Japan at the end of the 19th century and was the figures of the sage Fukurum inserted into each other. Then they offered sketches for a wooden doll with the face of an ordinary peasant girl in an elegant sundress and a painted scarf. The name "nesting doll" comes from the most popular female name of Matren at that time.
Painting.
The silhouette and painting style of the nesting dolls in Sergiev Posad changed over time. In the period from 1900 to 1910 a series of nesting dolls appeared depicting Old Russian knights and boyars.
Literary works of Russian classics - Pushkin, Ershov and many others were also used as plots. Of all the variety of themes and subjects of the mural, the most developed were household ones, since they reflected the holidays and everyday life of each master, therefore they were publicly accessible and loved by customers.
