Icon - The Holy Trinity - Wood, Temple - Hand-painted - XL - 48.7 x 60.7 cm

La Sagrada Trinidad (Holy Trinity)
Tempera and oil on a solid wood panel with two original crossbars at the back.
Russian school. Early 20th century.
Measures: 60.7 × 48.7 × 2.5 cm.

Icon representing the Holy Trinity according to New Testament iconography, with the Father and the Son enthroned side by side and the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove. The Almighty Father, with a white beard, holds the world orb and a golden scepter in his left hand, while Christ, dressed in a red tunic and blue mantle, carries the cross of sacrifice and an open book with inscription in Cyrillic, symbolizing the divine Word.

At the top, the inscription Святая Троица ('Holy Trinity') identifies the scene. The vivid tones and balanced composition reveal the influence of 19th-century provincial Russian workshops, where Byzantine tradition combines with a more naturalistic sense characteristic of the period.

The work stands out for the chromatic harmony between greens, blues, and pinks, as well as for the serenity of the faces and the spiritual depth of the figures. The panel retains its original structure with crossbars, fine craquelure, and an even antique patina, with no visible overpainting.
