Description from the seller

Ancient icon depicting the Presentation of the Virgin at the Temple (Введение Пресвятыя Богородицы), one of the solemn feasts of the Orthodox tradition.
The composition follows the canonical Russian model: Joachim and Anna accompany the young Mary towards the priest, beneath late Baroque architectures typical of religious painting from the Golden Ring.

The script's handwriting and stylistic traits allow the work to be placed in central Russia, in the Yaroslavl–Kostroma area, active in creating popular yet refined icons between the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

An authentic and characteristic icon of the Russian provincial tradition, with an intense chromatic presence and a subject highly appreciated by collectors.

Technique: tempera on monoxila panel.
Dimensions: 34.5 × 22 × 3 cm.
Period: late 18th century (circa 1780–1810).
Condition: good for its age, with a uniform natural crack, light traces of time, and some old inactive termite holes.

I guarantee fast shipping with proper packaging. Thank you.
