Description from the seller

The Last Supper
School: Russian, 19th century
Technique: Tempera on panel with an engraved gold background.
Dimensions: 38 cm x 81 cm
Origin: Icon of Russian Orthodox tradition

Shaped and gilded wooden cornice

Icon depicting The Last Supper, executed according to the Russian Orthodox tradition with influences of 19th-century academic naturalism. Christ is at the center of the composition, surrounded by the apostles, in a balance between Byzantine hieraticity and Western volumetric rendering.

The gold background, finely engraved with ornamental motifs, symbolizes divine light and gives the overall piece a sacred aura. At the top, the inscription in Cyrillic characters ТАЙНАЯ ВЕЧЕРЯ ('The Last Supper') identifies the subject. The trilobed, also gilded, frame emphasizes the liturgical purpose of the work, likely part of a domestic or private chapel iconostasis.
