#MarsupialMonday :

Kangaroo and baby, by Fabergé, c. 1913 Nephrite & rose diamonds 8.8 x 3.1 x 9.7 cm Royal Collection Trust RCIN 40269

“This humorous carving of a kangaroo and baby was bought by King George V in November 1913 for £23. The extraordinary range of animals that Fabergé produced is testament to the sustained demand for these products from his clients. For this example, the sculptors have chosen to use Siberian nephrite rather than a more realistically-coloured stone, however anatomically the carving is accurate.”

Petro Kholodnyi (Петро Холодний, Ukrainian, 1876-1930)

A Tale of a Girl and a Peacock, 1916

Tempera on wood, H85 x W 114 cm

National Art Museum of Ukraine

“Petro Kholodnyi’s famous work A tale of a girl and a Peacock combines organically the mysterious symbolism of the subject (the peacock being the embodiment of the eternal dream of the beauty) with the poetry of the Ukrainian folklore and national painting traditions. Decorative flatness of painting with accentuated fine line drawing, the use of tempera and panel remind of old icon painting.”
