Orthodox festive icon, Russian School, 19th century.

Descriptio Tempera and polychrome on panel. Dimensions: 41 x 33 cm. This Orthodox icon is organized through a complex narrative structure of registers that bring together various religious scenes around a central representation of the Resurrection. The small compositions depict episodes from the lives of Christ and the Virgin Mary, accompanied by inscriptions in Cyrillic script and hieratic figures of pronounced spirituality. The use of gold backgrounds, intense red tones, and linear outlines accentuates the liturgical solemnity of the work, while the geometric arrangement of the scenes reflects the Russian iconographic tradition. The surface shows the wear typical of antique devotional pieces, lending historical authenticity and visual depth. The work is a representative example of 19th-century Eastern sacred art, conceived for private contemplation and the symbolic transmission of the Orthodox faith. Dimensions: 41 x 33 cm. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
