Ikonen-Stickvorlage für Perlenstickerei (Kunstleinwand, ohne Perlen) „Ikone Heilige Matrona von Moskau“

«Icons „St. Matrona of Moscow“» is a half-length image of the saint with a prayer rope, in green robes and a white headcloth.

What the picture shows

The saint is shown half-length and frontal, her eyes closed and her face calm. A white headcloth edged with small red circles covers her head, with a second white band visible beneath it. Her robe is green with soft folds, and a white collar lies across her chest. Her right hand is raised palm outward; her left holds a prayer rope of yellow beads. The halo is built from broad concentric bands of ochre, gold and brown. The ground is pale yellow with a printed foliate scroll. Vertical bands of fine yellow-and-violet geometric ornament run down both sides, with a narrow ornamental strip along the top and a two-word inscription flanking the halo. Coverage is partial — the figure, headcloth, prayer rope, halo and side ornament bands are beaded, while the yellow ground stays printed.
