Deposition from the Cross icon 30x25cm, Russian style, hand-painted. Orthodox icon created following the Russian tradition, executed on linden wood using egg tempera with a gold leaf background. The scene depicts the deposition of Christ from the cross, with Jesus' body supported and lowered by the figures gathered at the foot of the cross. Christ is shown with pale flesh tones and a recumbent body, while the surrounding figures assume collected, ritual poses, their vestments in ochre, green and red hues. The iconography emphasizes the moment of the Passion's completion through a vertical, measured composition typical of Eastern sacred art. The Russian icon is supplied in an elegant blue velvet presentation box with a satin interior.
