Icon - Mother of God of Kazan - Tempera on panel - 31x27 cm - No Reserve

Precious Russian icon of the Mother of God of Kazan, from the first half of the 19th century, painted in tempera on panel. No reserve! A work of excellent craftsmanship and strong presence, with splendid antique coloration, refined and meticulous details and a genuine patina that bears witness to the passage of time. In excellent condition, with natural signs of aging. The back retains the two original wooden crossbars, a detail particularly appreciated for completeness and preservation. Particularly interesting is the conservation history: the icon was kept for over fifty years sheltered, never displayed and largely untouched, a circumstance that helped preserve its genuine appearance, patina and splendid antique coloration. An important testament to 19th-century Russian sacred iconography, a piece with history and character, worthy of a high-level collection dedicated to ancient icons. Measures 31x27x5 cm. Proper packaging and fast shipping.
