Description
RUSSIAN MADONNA AND CHILD ICON
Fine antique Russian hand-painted icon with a silver overlay applied thereto, 10 1/2" x 12 1/2", depicts the Virgin mary with the infant Jesus. The hammered brass and silver overlay with glass "jewels" (one missing) was most likely applied well after the icon was painted, probably in thanks for its owner or a family member having survived an illness, etc. The bottom of the icon shows oxidation, leading us to believe that this piece was once standing up with its bottom directly affected by a great deal of moisture, perhaps in a monastery or an unventilated location.Back is covered in newer green cloth, possibly covering a restoration.
