The figurine “Russian Toy Terrier” is a part of the collection of the animalistic sculpture of Marina Nikolskaya. The author is deeply convinced that the master can create a beautiful and deep sculptural image akin to a living creature, imbued with love for his creation and endowing him with a certain character. The shy character of the little dog named Mio is embodied in porcelain: coquettishly folded paws, she looks inquiringly at her master.
