Icon - multifield icon - Wood

Ancient Russian icon as a 'multi-panel icon' from the 19th century.

Hand-painted with egg tempera colors on a wooden panel with a chalk ground. Typical method of icon production in 18th- and 19th-century Tsarist Russia.

This is an Old Believer icon. The painting is not particularly detailed. Perfectly coordinated color contrasts and successful shading. The painting contains very authentic craquelure. The icon was created circa 1850–1880.

Partial restorations are present.

The icon is in good condition with typical age-related signs of wear (see photos). The icon is slightly warped. On the back, both crosspieces are missing.

The icon and the saints are inscribed. The inscriptions are easily readable. All details are well visible in the photos. Photos are part of the description.

Dimensions: 33x32x2 cm
