347 - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with a magnificent silver-enamel setting. Russia, Moscow, 1908–1913. Setting likely from the workshop of Ivan Filippovich Tarabrov. H 31 � W 26 cm. Egg tempera over a chalk ground on wood, partially gilded. Richly crafted silver setting, 84 zolotniki (875/1000), embossed, chased, engraved, and partially gilded. Polychrome enamel decoration, particularly using the cloisonné technique. Moscow kokoshnik hallmark and fineness mark “84,” as well as the master’s mark N.(?)T., likely Ivan Filippovich Tarabrov. Half-length depiction of St. Nicholas of Myra in episcopal vestments, blessing and holding a Gospel book. Flanked above by Christ and the Virgin Mary. Richly crafted oklad in finely embossed and chased silverwork. Borders, hems, and ornamental edge zones feature delicately executed guilloché patterns, beaded and braided ribbon motifs, as well as stylized plant ornaments. The nimbus features elaborate polychrome enamel decoration, divided by fine metal bars into small floral and geometric compartments and filled with opaque or translucent enamel (cloisonné enamel). The reverse side retains its original fabric covering. A Moscow silver-enamel oklad of outstanding quality from the late Tsarist era! The painting has darkened significantly, with craquelure, scuffing, and partial losses. The oklad shows signs of wear, oxidation, and use. Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Dr. Gerhard-Joseph Busch, Bavaria, since the 1970s. Acquired at Galerie Jaud, Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
