Hand‑painted Romanian icon of the Holy Family, nominal size 30x25 cm. Created with tempera by Romanian iconographers in the Byzantine tradition, with applied gold leaf. The Virgin Mary is depicted with her head inclined toward the Child Jesus, who leans his cheek against her in an affectionate gesture; Saint Joseph stands beside them with a contemplative expression and his hand raised in a sign of protection, set against a gilded background with Greek inscriptions. The composition emphasizes the bond between the figures through the proximity of the faces and the arrangement of the hands, with an orderly rendering of garments and features; the gold leaf on the background and halos reinforces the symbolic reading of the scene. Each religious icon is delivered with a certificate of authenticity. The image is executed on a wooden panel with an antiqued finish and a thickness of 2.5 cm (painted area 30x25 cm; overall panel dimensions 31x23x2.5 cm). It is delivered in a red velvet presentation box with a satin‑lined interior for protection during transport and storage.
