Russian icon with frame, 19th century

Height x width x depth: 38.5 x 35.5 x 8.5 cm.
Depicted in full length, Saint Paul the Thaumaturge, the first Christian hermit, appears as an elderly figure positioned at the center of the icon, surrounded by the desert, a symbol of his ascetic way of life. This reference is further emphasized by his hermit’s tunic and his long white beard and hair, signs of his spiritual dedication and experience. Typically, as in this representation, he is shown with his hands in prayer, expressing his deep communion with God.
Set within a gilded frame decorated with grape clusters, placed inside a display case.
