The Twelfth Guest

Departing Guests. In a series of figurines depicting simply the departing guests from a scene in The Nutcracker, Mihail Chemiakin has managed to capture the essence of nineteenth-century St. Petersburg. You can almost feel the bitter cold and sense the leisurely mood of the crowd. Dressed in their muffs, top hats and bonnets, they will enchant you and transport you to another time.
