This is a Russian lacquer box, likely from Palekh or Fedoskino, based on the realistic portrait style and the inscription.
The artwork is a reproduction of an 1820 portrait by Tropinin, which was a common subject in mid- to late-20th-century lacquer workshops.

Condition notes to include:

• Surface wear and scratches

• A visible diagonal crack across upper right of lid

• Typical interior hinge verdigris

• Clean interior, traditional red lacquer

• Hand-painted, artist-signed

This is definitely hand-painted, not a print.
