Description from the seller
Rare miniature Russian icon from the 19th century depicting the Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, tempera on a wooden panel. Although the painter’s light measures only 5.5x5 cm, the work is executed with remarkable precision and richness of detail, testimony to the high skill of the iconographer.
Enhanced by a refined frame in gilded brass with cloisonné polychrome enamels and a thin border in silvered metal, for a total size of 8.5x8 cm.
Small prestigious icon, combining an authentic 19th-century painting with a cloisonné frame of superior quality.
It shows natural signs of time, wear to the background and some losses of the paint layer, elements that attest to its authenticity and ancient devotional use. The enamelled mounting is well preserved and helps confer to the work a strong aesthetic and collecting impact.
Offered at auction with no reserve!
I guarantee proper packaging and fast shipping. Thank you.
