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