Icon - Two saints - Wood

An antique Russian Orthodox icon depicting two saints standing beneath the blessing of Christ within a celestial cloud in the upper part. A simple, devotional composition typical of 19th-century Russian popular production.

Egg tempera on a wooden panel with a dark background and gilded halos. The work presents an essential yet authentic painting, probably intended for domestic or votive use.

Conservation conditions marked by time: significant paint losses in the lower band, widespread abrasions, superficial darkening, and edge wear. Nevertheless, the main figures remain readable and the overall piece retains decorative and collectible interest.

Probable origin: Central Russia.
Period: second half of the 19th century.
