Icon Bead Embroidery Kit on Art Canvas "St. Anthony"
Description
“St. Anthony” is a desert elder with a long unrolled scroll.
What the picture shows
The figure is shown to the waist, the beard very long and white, the face lean, the gaze severe. The dress is monastic: an ochre-gold mantle in large folds over a dark, almost black under-cassock. Both hands hold an open pale scroll that falls nearly to the lower edge of the icon, carrying a Church Slavonic text in small lettering. The halo is gold, the ground a warm ochre-cream with an embossed scroll. There are only thirteen colours, and the whole palette rests on ochre, white and black. The beads fill the mantle, the under-cassock and the halo, while the face, the hands, the lines of the scroll and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The vertical 230×300 mm composition reads from several steps away. Because the pattern is already on the canvas, you can begin anywhere — many people start around the halo and the face, to see the proportions right away. The finishing seen in the photo is not part of the kit; the frame and glass are ordered separately.
