The composition “Underwater kingdom” is executed in the form of the panoramic figurine every side of which opens up a new subject. Lifelike, surprising transparent medusae with agate hattocks, flocks of the shiny small fishes, inexplicably keeping together, scattering away from the son of Neptune; the huge octopus safeguards treasures of the perished ships, but the most impressive and plausible are fluffy seaweeds made from malachite fluctuating under submarine currents. The craftsman managed to depict and pass over a variability and liquidity of a water-related hazard by means of the firm stone, metal and ceramics. At the same time he masterfully highlighted the smooth motions and graceful precipitance of underwater inhabitants.
