Description from the seller

• Style: Sacred folk art / Orthodox iconography.
• Technique: Reverse-glass painting (color applied to the back side of the glass pane).
• Condition: * Image: good preservation with beautiful color luminosity. No notable flaking of the color layer detectable.
• Frame: Original wooden frame with authentic, age-related signs of wear (patina), underscoring the antique character.
• Dimensions: * Image: 43.5 x 38.5 cm
• Including frame: 56.0 x 50.5 cm

• Shipping: The object is professionally and securely packaged as well as insured with tracking.
