A remarkable 19th-century Russian Orthodox icon depicting a rich assembly of saints arranged in multiple registers, each figure carefully rendered against a luminous gold background. Such compositions were created for deep personal devotion, bringing together revered holy figures into a single sacred presence. This type of icon reflects the strong spiritual tradition of the Russian Orthodox Church, where multiple saints are honored collectively, offering protection, guidance, and blessing to the household. The harmonious arrangement and repetition create a powerful visual rhythm, enhancing both its devotional and decorative appeal. Painted in tempera on wood with a gilded ground, this icon showcases traditional craftsmanship of the period. The inscriptions above each figure, though worn, add to its authenticity and historical depth, confirming its devotional use over generations. The icon remains in original condition with visible age-related wear, including surface abrasions and areas of paint loss, consistent with its age. The wooden panel is stable with traditional support battens on the reverse. Thank you to the collector for the trust and appreciation of sacred art. “𝔒𝔩𝔡 𝔴𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰 𝔥𝔬𝔩𝔶 𝔰𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰”.
