Icon - Annunciation - Wood

This antique Russian Orthodox icon, measuring 35 cm in height, 29 cm in width, and 2 cm in depth, portrays a traditional religious scene with vivid narrative elements. Crafted on wood, this piece features hand-painted depictions of two saints, possibly showing an Annunciation scene with the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Gabriel, underscored by a striking gold background that enhances the spiritual and divine aura of the imagery. The icon showcases the characteristic style of Orthodox religious art with its bold color palette and stylized figures. Despite visible signs of age such as cracking paint, surface wear, and a split in the wooden panel, the icon retains a compelling presence, with the wear adding to the historical authenticity and character of the piece. This antique not only represents spiritual devotion but also embodies significant cultural and artistic craftsmanship, making it an appealing acquisition for collectors of religious artifacts and enthusiasts of Byzantine art.
