"Sleeping Beauty" is one of Smirnova's most intriguing works. In her own words "I love to paint princes and horses", and you couldn't find more handsome examples than the ones here. Moreover, the lovely flow and transitions from one area to the next in this work make it one of her smartest looking compositions. The radiant gold mixed among the tree limbs on the right give one the impression the the "beauty" is being well protected in her sleep. We love the grays in the horse and the bats, too. It's not a color that you see much on lacquer boxes, but Smirnova uses it here to a great effect.
