Icon - Wood

This painting is a late 19th-century Russian Orthodox icon executed in egg tempera on a wooden panel. It presents a multi-scene composition featuring the Kazan Mother of God, the Resurrection, and several revered saints, arranged in a structured grid. The figures are rendered in the provincial folk style, with simplified forms, strong outlines, and restrained modeling. Rich earth tones and worn gilded backgrounds reflect both traditional iconographic conventions and long devotional use. Areas of surface wear and paint loss testify to its age and religious function rather than later restoration. The overall effect is solemn and direct, emphasizing spiritual presence over naturalistic detail.
