Description from the seller
Antique Russian icon "Festtage/Feiertage" (Feast Days) from the 19th century (circa 1880). Hand-painted with egg tempera on a wooden panel with a chalk ground.
Typical method of icon painting in the 18th and 19th centuries in Tsarist Russia. The motif is widespread and very popular in the Orthodox Church.
This is an Old Believer icon. The painting is quite masterfully and meticulously executed. Perfectly harmonized color contrasts and successful shading. The painting contains very authentic craquelure (see photos).
Partial restorations are present (see photos). The icon and biblical scenes are inscribed. The inscriptions are well legible.
The icon likely dates from ca. 1850–1880. On the back are two cross braces. Stable and solid wooden panel. The icon is in good condition with typical age-related signs of use (see photos).
An icon for collectors and connoisseurs of the subject.
All details can be read well in the photos. Photos are part of the description.
