Icon - Christ Pantocrator - Wood - 大きさ 54×42 cm

19th century Russian Orthodox icon of Christ Pantocrator, painted in tempera on a distinctive curved wooden panel, depicting the Savior in traditional frontal pose with raised blessing hand and orb surmounted by a cross. The composition is rendered in a restrained, archaic style, with elongated facial features, deep-set eyes, and a warm ochre complexion set against a dark, time-softened ground. Gilded Cyrillic inscriptions flank the figure, identifying Christ as “Pantocrator” and “Life-Giver.” The panel’s unusual concave form suggests placement within an iconostasis or ecclesiastical setting, enhancing its visual presence. Rich red and deep green garments retain strong pigment, while the surface exhibits pronounced craquelure, age-related wear, and areas of patina consistent with devotional use. Measuring approximately 54 x 42 cm, this substantial icon offers both spiritual and decorative appeal, embodying the enduring aesthetic and liturgical traditions of 19th century Russian iconography.
