Perlenstickerei-Set Ikone auf Kunstleinwand „Heiliger Nikita“

“St. Nikita” is a martyr with an open raised palm, in a blue mantle over a burgundy tunic.

What the picture shows

The figure is shown to the waist, fair hair falling to the shoulders, the beard short and wavy. A blue mantle is thrown over the right shoulder and gathered on the chest in large vertical folds; beneath it is a burgundy tunic with a fine pattern, and a pale ochre cloth falls on the right. His right hand is raised palm outward, his left held at his chest. The halo is gold and broad, the ground cream with a large embossed scroll. The composition rests on three fields of colour: blue, burgundy and ochre. The beads fill the mantle, the tunic and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The piece is vertical, 230×300 mm; icons like this are usually stitched for a name day or a christening, and that takes several weeks of quiet evenings. The pattern is already printed on the canvas in full colour, so there are no squares to count. The frame in the photograph is bought separately — it does not come with the kit.
