Description from the seller
Old Greek icon "Annunciation" from the second half of the 29th century.
The icon is signed and dated by the icon painter with 1884 (see photos).
Hand-painted with egg tempera colors or oil on a wooden panel with a chalk ground. Typical method of icon-making in the 18th and 19th centuries in Greece (in imitation of the Russian Orthodox Church).
The subject is relatively rare and very popular in the Orthodox Church.
The painting is executed in relatively fine detail (see photos).
Perfectly harmonized color contrasts and successful shading. The painting contains very authentic craquelure (see photos).
Especially expressive and striking are the faces of the saints (see photos). The saint and the icon are labeled. The inscriptions are easy to read.
Stable and solid wooden panel, yet it has a vertical crack (see photos).
ATTENTION: In the left half of the icon there is a vertical crack. The icon is still stable and does not fall apart.
The icon is in good condition with typical signs of age (see photos).
All details are clearly readable in the photos. Photos are part of the description.
Dimensions: 27x20x2 cm
