A MONUMENTAL ICON SHOWING THE DORMITION OF THE MOTHER OF GOD (KOIMESIS) FROM AN ICONOSTASIS Russian, 17th century Tempera on wood panel with kovcheg.

Below a fanatical Jewish priest (sometimes named Iefoniya or Athonios) stands before the bier. Attempting to push it over, he has his hands cut off by a sword-wielding angel. In the heavenly realm the Assumption of the Mother of God, she seated on a throne with her hands extended in supplication, the Apostles on clouds, each accompanied by his guardian angel occupy the upper part of the composition. The saturated colours of the figures standing out against the pastel shades of the constructions in the background. Restored. 99 x 80 cm.
