[ translate ]

Ancient Russian icon ‘Apparition of our Lady in front of St. Sergei of Radonezh’ from the 18th century with a marginal saint (Eudokia) . Hand-painted with egg tempera colours on a wooden panel with chalk background. Typical method of icon production in the 18th and 19th century in the Tsarist period of Russia. The icon was made in an old manner and tradition. The painting is very detailed. Perfectly matched colour contrasts and accomplished shading. This is an old-faith icon. There is a lot of evidence that the icon was created in the 18th century, e. g. Levkas (deepened middle area) . Particularly striking are the faces and robes of the saints. All saints are labelled. The inscriptions are clearly legible. The icon is in good condition with signs of wear commensurate with age (see photos) . There is a vertical crack in the middle of the icon (clearly visible in the photos) . However, this was worked on (glued) on the back. The icon itself is stable and does not come apart. Partial restorations are present. The painting has very authentic craquelure. There are some paint chips. The icon is slightly curved. Please refer to the expertise for more details. Relatively rare and sought-after motif. Especially interesting for every collector and enthusiast of Russian icon painting. All details are clearly visible in the photos. The photos are part of the description. Dimensions: 31 x 27 x 2. 5 cm
