Description from the seller

For sale is an extremely rare and impressive Russian four-field icon from the 19th century. The panel measures approximately 32 × 42 cm and was crafted using traditional techniques (egg tempera on Levkas, on solid wood, with two original Sponki).


The icon shows four significant representations.

Mother of God of Kazan

Mother of God 'Joy of all mourners'

The Holy Nikolaus, Johannes the Goldmund, and Katharina.

The transfer of the relics of St. Nicholas to Bari


The painting impresses with luminous colors, fine line work, and a strong spiritual presence. The panel bears the authentic age-related patina of the 19th century – craquelure, paint layer cracks, minimal retouching – all absolutely consistent and collectible.
