Icon of St. Alexandra. The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The chamber icon, a pocket altar of St. Alexandra, on a parquet board, bears a full-length, blessing image of the saint on a golden background. Dressed in royal clothes, covered with a scarlet cloak, she overshadows with a cross and a heart, to which she presses her hand. The festive, radiant, humble anticipation is enlivened by the dynamic Art Nouveau pattern in the upper corners of the icon. This is a symbolic symbiosis of a flower, sun, capitals in the architecture of a better world. Width: 9cm, Height: 22cm, Depth: 2cm, Weight: 0.8kg, Condition: Good, Material: Wood, gesso, gilding, tempera
