Description from the seller
Greek Icon of Saint Kyriaki – tempera on wood panel signed and dated 1888
Religious icon representing Saint Kyriaki (Αγία Κυριακή), depicted full-length, nimbate and crowned, holding a branch of martyrdom. Painting executed in tempera on a wooden panel, characteristic of 19th-century Greek devotional productions.
The treatment is frontal, hieratic, with a sober palette and a stylized landscape background.
The work bears several inscriptions in Greek:
• subject identification: Αγία Κυριακή (Saint Kyriaki)
• devout phrase: "servant of God"
• signature: "Χείρ Ιωάννου" (by the hand of Ioannis)
• dating: 1888 These elements confirm production of a Greek or Balkan workshop, with authentic character.
