Description from the seller

«The Resurrection of Christ» (Voskresenie Khristovo) — «The Resurrection of Christ».

The risen Christ appears in the center, standing on the tomb, with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing.
He carries a banner of the Resurrection, white, with a golden cross: the symbol of Christ who conquered death.
To the right, an angel sits beside the empty tomb, announcing to the women that Christ has risen.
In the foreground are the myrrh-bearing women who came to the tomb at dawn.
In the background, on the hill, the three crosses of Golgotha can be seen, recalling the Crucifixion.
The open tomb and the shrouds are references to the Gospel account of the Resurrection.
A notable feature

This representation is not the traditional Byzantine composition of the Anastasis or Descent of Christ into Hell, in which Christ pulls Adam and Eve out of Hades. Here the Resurrection is depicted as visible at the tomb, a composition heavily influenced by Western religious painting and common in relatively late-era Russian icons.
