Description from the seller

Dear Sir or Madam,

Herewith, I am offering a very beautiful Christian icon for sale, which my great-grandfather stole on November 1, 1943, as a German soldier from a Russian Orthodox church in Leningrad (see the back of the icon).
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to determine the exact designation or translation of the caption on the front image. However, according to my grandmother's statements, it is supposed to depict Saint Nicholas.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you very much and best regards!
