Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) – icône « Iconostase domestique – Le Christ Pantocrator »

«Home iconostasis „The Lord God Almighty“» is the central image of the Saviour with an open book, part of a home iconostasis set.

What the picture shows

Christ is shown half-length and frontal, in a red tunic and a blue mantle thrown across his left shoulder in large folds. His right hand is raised in blessing, his left holds an open book with lines of text. Hair and beard are warm light brown and the face is calm. The halo is a wide disc of concentric bands — ochre, gold and white pearl circles — ringed with a dark edging, set against a pale yellow ground. The border is assembled from blue and russet ornamental panels with flower rosettes at the corners, and a light inscribed plaque runs along the bottom. Coverage is partial — the figure, book, halo and border panels are beaded, while the yellow ground with its foliate scrolls stays printed.
