Antique Russian icon of Christ Pantocrator, painted by hand, 35x30 cm. Original icon from Moscow (Russia) made of a wood board of the 19th century prepared with levkas, painted by hand with egg tempera in the 19th century and chiseled by hand.
The icon represents one of the most classic of Christ's icons, Christ Pantocrator, wher 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.
Icon of 35.5x31 cm with hook on the back, delivered with expertise by a qualified expert in a blue satin case.
