Hand‑painted Romanian Byzantine icon of the Holy Family, nominal size 30x25 cm. Created with tempera by Romanian iconographers in the Byzantine tradition, with applied gold leaf on the background and halos. The Virgin Mary is depicted with her head inclined toward the Child Jesus held in her arms, while Saint Joseph stands nearby in a discreet, protective gesture. The figures form a compact composition with converging gazes and Greek inscriptions at the top. The work highlights the relationship among the figures through the proximity of the faces and the placement of the hands, expressing a contained familial bond. The gold leaf contributes to the definition of the sacred space and the liturgical reading of the scene. Each religious icon is supplied with a certificate of authenticity. Painted on a wooden panel with an antiqued finish and a thickness of 2.5 cm (actual dimensions 31x23x2.5 cm). Delivered in a red velvet presentation box with a satin‑lined interior for protection during transport and storage.
