Description from the seller
Antique Russian icon of “St. Antipas,” patron saint of dentists. Hand-painted on a wooden panel using egg tempera on a chalk ground with a gold background.
A typical icon-making technique used in 18th- and 19th-century Tsarist Russia. The subject is quite rare and very popular in the Orthodox Church.
This is an Old Believer icon. The painting is executed with considerable skill and detail (see photos). The color contrasts are perfectly balanced, and the shading is beautifully done.
The saint’s face is particularly expressive and striking (see photos).
The saint is identified by an inscription, which is clearly legible.
The icon was probably made around 1880–1900 in central Russia. Sliding battens are set into the top and bottom. Sturdy, solid wooden panel. The icon is in good condition, with typical signs of age and use (see photos).
All details are clearly visible in the photos. The photos form part of the description.
Dimensions: 35.5 × 31 × 2.5 cm
