Saint George and the Dragon, Russian Icon, 19th Century. Tempera and polychrome on panel. Dimensions: 42 x 35 cm. An icon in the Eastern tradition depicting Saint George on horseback, spearing a dragon of intense green hues, while a crowned princess observes the scene from a walled fortress populated with figures. The composition exhibits a marked frontality and a schematic narrative style characteristic of Russian and Orthodox iconography. The linear outlines, vibrant colors, and flat application of paint reinforce the spiritual character of the image, conceived more as a devotional object than a naturalistic representation. The gold background and dotted details contribute to a richly ornamental effect. The piece retains the traditional symbolism of the victory of good over evil, a recurring theme in 19th-century Eastern religious painting. Dimensions: 42 x 35 cm. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
