Description: This icon was painted at an unprecedented artistic level for icons of this kind.
The icon depicts 48 saints, in the finest miniature execution. Each of them is skilfully painted in a rich color palette, for example, the stole of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is of the rarest blue color. The trimmings of everyone's clothes are also made of gold. In addition, the central vertical line is occupied by 4 icons - the Kazan Mother of God, the Mother of God of Tenderness, the Mother of God Guide / Hodegitria, the Burning Bush. These Mother of Gods are the heart of the icon, so here the artist gave his best. For example, in the Burning Bush icon, even the face, the size of a match head, has its own individual mood.
From the remaining parts of the fieldography, we can judge how skilfully the inscriptions were painted. Inscriptions and faces are the calling card of the icon.
The icon was carefully cleaned by the restorer from the darkened drying oil, and small areas with loss of gesso were restored.
This antique icon is a unique picturesque monument, made according to a special individual order.
The state of preservation of this icon is very pleasing and almost perfect condition.
