Ancient Greek icon - 16th century

"Saint Peter and Saint Nicholas"
Ancient Greek icon 
Tempera on wood with traces of gilding
16th century
Dimensions: 30 x 43 cm
The frame is attached directly to the edges of the panel.

The icon is painted on a single piece of cedar panel, in excellent condition, with no cracks or warping.

It stands out for the great elegance of the figures, stylistically perfect in every detail.
Despite some loss of color, the icon is in good condition with a dense network of craquelure across the entire surface extending to the paint on the frame.
The work features a beautiful patina, and the signs of age lend it great charm.
