Description from the seller
Ancient icon depicting three saints - Southern Europe - 1836
Icon painted on a wooden panel, depicting three full-length, haloed saints arranged facing front on a green background.
On the left, a saint holding an open book (probably an evangeliarium or sacred text), identifiable as an apostle or evangelist.
In the center, a pilgrim saint holding a staff, wearing a brown cloak, accompanied by a dog with a loaf of bread in its mouth, and showing a wound on the leg: this is Saint Roch.
On the right, a saint in military attire, holding a cross and a martyr’s palm, clearly identifiable as Saint George.
A painted inscription in the lower part mentions the names of the saints, partially legible: “S. N… S. RO… S. GIORGIO MART…”, confirming the presence of Saint Roch and Saint George.
Tempera on panel.
Visible wear to the pictorial layer, craquelure, small losses. Condition consistent with age.
Photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. They allow you to appreciate its condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any bidding.
The object will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
