središnji sadržaj
The wooden box is shaped like a small chest with a wooden handle, a lock, and metal clasps to close the box. The interior is divided into four separate compartments, and the box contains 16 oil paints by the Czechoslovakian manufacturer Stolo.
The oil paints Stolo/Tvar (1984) likely belonged to Ivanka Bukovac. In 1910, the Czechoslovak academic painter Jozef Stolovsky founded an art paint production in Prague under the brand STOLO, manufacturing oil paints, tempera, and watercolours. Initially, it was a family-owned business, but later, it was nationalized. The Stolovsky family sold the production machinery to the state-owned company Tvar. Tvar added its logo to their products, yet the original Stolo logo remained on the tubes.
The range of oil paints: Pozzuoli red, ochre yellow, silver-white, dark red (madder deep), ochre, ultramarine, golden ochre, zinc white, cadmium orange, Naples light yellow. The box also contains a metal container for turpentine with the following dimensions: height 7.3 cm, width 5 cm, and depth 2 cm. A single metal paint container has a holder at the bottom to attach to the palette, with the following dimensions: width 4.5 cm, height 3 cm, hole diameter 2.5 cm; while a small aluminium container with a lid and pins (eight pieces) has the following dimensions: height 5.1 cm, width 2 cm. The pins are 1 cm in diameter, bearing the inscription ‘NIKO’ and the number 3.
The company Niko Ltd. Zeleznik is a Slovenian company founded in 1964, specialising in the production of mass-produced metal products for office supplies.
The box also contains two metal frames, a fragment of green glass, a plastic bottle of Mastix Firnis by the manufacturer Schminke, on which Turpentine is handwritten, with the following dimensions: height 9.5 cm, width 3.6 cm, depth 2.2 cm; and three pieces of canvas cloth.
