Antique Russian icon fo Christ Pantocrator with riza, beginning of the 19th, 8.9x7.1 inches. Russian icon painted in Moscow in the beginning of the 19th century. The most common and well-known icon of Jesus Christ is the icon of Christ Pantocrator, idealising the greatest glory and the greatest power of Jesus Christ.
In these icons, Jesus is depicted in a blessing position, facing the viewer, with a very expressive face. He holds an open Gospel in his left hand, for the viewer to read, and has Greek letters in his halo designating him as "the One who is".
In this type of icon, the features of Jesus' face are always similar: long hair parted in the middle, large forehead with well-marked eyebrow arches, big eyes, deep and thoughtful, divided by a long nose, tight red lips closed in wise silence, small ears, almost a bit deformed, in a listening mood.
This icon is characterised by a golden riza with polychrome enamels.
