Description from the seller
Antique Russian icon “Festtage/Feiertage” from the 19th century (circa 1880). Hand-painted with egg tempera colors on a wooden panel with a chalk ground.
Typical method of icon making in 18th and 19th century Tsarist Russia. The motif is widespread and very popular in the Orthodox Church.
This is an Old Believers icon. The painting is quite masterful and detailed. Perfectly coordinated color contrasts and successful shading. The painting contains very authentic craquelure (crackle).
Partial restorations are present (see photos). The icon and biblical scenes are inscribed. The inscriptions are easily legible.
The icon was probably created around 1850–1880. On the back there are two cross-sponkas attached. Sturdy and solid wooden panel. The icon is in good condition with typical age-related signs of wear (see photos).
An icon for collectors and connoisseurs of the subject.
All details are clearly readable in the photos. Photos are part of the description.
Dimensions: 35.5 x 31.5 x 2 cm
