Icon Of The Virgin Of Intercession, Russia Circa 1800 / Mother Of God / Mary / Palekh

Luminous Icon representing the Virgin of Intercession.
It shows Mary in prayer, her head bowed, imploring her son to save humanity.
This beuatiful icon dates from the begining of the 19th century -- around 1800/1820 -- and comes from the Moscow region, most probably from the reknowned Palekh school.
In the Byzantine style, the work is finely painted in light tones in tempera (paint based on egg yolk and natural pigments) on a wooden panel. Mary's clothes are also richly enhanced with gold.
Good general condition with a beautiful patina. Some losses, cracks and wear of time which are consistent with the age of the icon.
This work is sold with its certificate of authenticity and a complete description.
Dimensions: H 34.5 cm by W 30 cm.
