Description from the seller
• Technique/Material: Tempera on wood panel, gold ground
• Representation: Saint Nicholas as a bishop with an Omophorion (bishop’s stole with crosses), richly embroidered Phelonion (robe with rose/floral pattern), blessing hand, opened Gospel book with Church Slavonic text. In the upper corners the classical Beís scene: Christ (left) hands him the Gospel book, the Mother of God (right) the Omophorion – a well-known legend for the rehabilitation of the Saint at the Council of Nicaea
• Inscription: “СТЫИ НИКОЛА ЧЮДОТВОРЕЦЪ” (Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker) in Church Slavonic script
• Condition: minor areas of color loss on the robe, otherwise well-preserved gold ground, fine craquelure
• Estimated country of origin: Russia – the Church Slavonic (not Bulgarian) script, the composition and the floral ornament on the robe are typical for Russian icon painting, probably 19th century (similar workshops such as Mstera/Palech-Tradition)
