Russian nesting dolls, each fitting inside the next larger one. They are painted as holding a variety of musical instrument, one each, so title befitting a musical group name seems fitting.

I really like the title! It plays well into the presenting this as a group of musicians on stage as well as a nod to the Nesting Dolls with each having an instrument painted on the wooden bodies. I also love how you arranged the dolls in this composition - a 'triangle' line up with one of the smaller dolls taking center stage as the main lead. Speaking of stage, the black backdrop does allow the dolls colors and detailed paint work to really shine but it is a touch to stark. And if you were going for the imagery of these dolls being a band on stage then it needs that extra something to solidly cement that idea. It shouldn't be too busy because you don't want to detract attention away from the dolls with any patterns or a backdrop that is too busy. The only thing I can really think of at this time is maybe some parted red curtains on either side - like the curtains were just opened to reveal the Matroyshka band on stage. Just a thought.

I have one of these staring at me and this idea never came to me. Well done.
