Description from the seller

Icon of Christ Pantocrator with saints – Russia, 19th century

Icon painted on a wooden panel depicting Christ Pantocrator in bust, blessing with the right hand and holding the Gospel open with the left. The golden cruciform nimbus bears the Greek letters « Ο Ω Ν » (He Who Is).

In the upper corners, two medallions depict crowned saints

Traditional technique: tempera on gesso, brown background with gold highlights.

Panel composed of several joined planks, with crosspieces on the reverse (typical construction).
Presence of craquelure
