What I can make out is that the painting was made by someone in the town of Orekhovo-Zuyevo outside of Moscow in December 1985. It cost 3 rubles and 5 kopeks, while at the time the average salary was probably around 50 rubles. The organization that sponsored it was the Art Fund of the USSR. The church appears to be on Kizhi Island, in Karelia. Sadly the name is scratched off so the exact artist is tough to make out.. :(
measures 6" x 6"
