This is an authentic Russian folk icon from around 1860, crafted on a wooden panel. The artwork depicts the twelve Orthodox feasts centered on the central theme of the Resurrection of Christ, a classic and richly detailed motif within the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
The icon is painted with tempera on wood and measures 35 cm in height and 30 cm in width. The color palette consists of warm tones such as gold, red, blue, and brown, which vividly render the various biblical scenes. The back of the panel features a typed label with a detailed description of the depicted scenes, contributing to the historical context of the piece.
The condition is consistent with its age, with the wood and paint layer having developed an authentic patina. The panel displays the natural movement of the material over the past century and a half, enhancing the character of this antique object.
This historic icon looks stunning in a classic or eclectic interior. It is a special collector's item that adds a touch of spiritual history and traditional craftsmanship to any room.
