Description from the seller
Russian icon of the Akhtyrska Virgin (Akhtyrka) - Russia or Ukraine, 18th century - Provenance Narychkine family. Labeled and dated at the bottom in Old Russian.
Expert: Maxime CHARRON
Icon depicting the miraculous Virgin of Akhtyrka, shown in prayer before Christ on the cross, surrounded by medallions of saints. An inscription in Slavonic in the lower part identifies this representation as the Miraculous Image of the Mother of God of Akhtyrka, venerated for its intercession.
Painted in tempera on a two-cross wooden panel, this icon bears witness to the Orthodox devotional tradition — Russia or Ukraine in the 18th century.
Condition: significant signs of wear with numerous losses of material, cracks, abrasions, and old restorations. The icon nevertheless retains a beautiful presence and historical interest.
Photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. They allow you to appreciate its condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any engagement.
The item will be carefully wrapped and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
