Description
Russian family seated by their home in Palekh, Russia. Identified by Charles Thayer as an artisan named Golikov whom Thayer met while on a visit to Palekh, Russia. Thayer described his work: "Golikov's intricate fantastic miniatures usually depicting brightly colored horses and charging cossacks..." Thayer also recorded in his description of the trip, "Later he asked me if I would agree to take a photograph of him along with his family, which I did." Thayer and a small group went to Palekh to visit some of the artisans who made at this time lacquered boxes. He was living in Moscow, Russia at the time in 1935.
