Description

Stunning early 20th century Russian Icon,c1910. This is a nicely composed and executed oil on wood panel depicting the Madonna and child. The frame and oklad are good examples which display the Icon nicely. The reverse of the wood panel is covered in material which has a lengthy inscription in Cyrillic / Russian which I cannot read, but you can make out a date at the end of 21 Sept 1910. Overall condition is good and as you would expect from an example of this age. There are signs of historic woodworm on the frame (long dormant but treated anyway) and a minor split in the metal Oklad. The wood panel is not currently fixed in the frame but this is easily fixed with a couple of panel pins if preferred. A fine genuine example. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to view the item.
