May Night – Lovers

A pair of lovers—the characters Levko and Oksana—from the classic short story “May Night, or The Drowned Maiden” by N. V. Gogol, featured in the collection *Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka*.
The figurine was produced between the 1960s and 1970s by the Polonne Art Ceramics Factory (Polonsky ZHK) in Ukraine. This charming and highly popular design is the work of the renowned Soviet sculptor Oksana Zhatnikova.
