Description from the seller
Greek icon of Saint Kyriaki – painting on wood panel 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 wood 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:
• subject identification: Αγία Κυριακή (Saint Kyriaki)
• devout formula: “servant of God”
• signature: “Χείρ Ιωάννου” (by the hand of Ioannis)
• dating: 1888 These elements confirm a Greek or Balkan workshop production, with authentic character.
