Technique & Material: One-piece board , gesso , tempera, gold leaf, field - engraving under " cold enamel ".
Description: The high level of painting in so-called academic style . An interesting feature of this icon is the so-called "tracking" view with blue shrilly eyes (!) of the saint.
State of preservation : This icon was shot with a rifle after the October Revolution of the year 1917.
In consequence of that the icon has three bullet holes - in the area of both hands and the bottom of the beard of a saint.
But luckily it did not bring any damage to the painting and to the icon board .
These holes are telling us about the story of this unusual icon.
