"17th-century Greek Icon Depicting Nine Saints And Their Symbols, Very Finely Represented."
A touching icon depicting nine saints, represented as bust portraits against a gold leaf background. This lovely, moderately sized piece has undeniable history while remaining beautiful and magical, a representation of Greek Orthodox worship, imbued with mystery by its unique gallery of fine and distinctive portraits of Jesus Christ. This beautiful, well-carved panel, set within a beveled frame, is a true collector's item. A rare (unique) and well-preserved 17th-century piece, considering its delicacy and age, its price is carefully considered, as is the price of the diptych presented on my website from a prominent German collector.
