Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) – icône « Saint André »

A name icon of St. Andrew — the apostle is shown with his right hand raised in blessing and a scroll in his left. The range is warm, built on red, green and gold.

What the picture shows

The figure is shown to the waist, facing forwards. The saint is grey-haired with a long white beard, and a wide halo of golden and ochre bead rows with a dark rim surrounds his head. His right hand is raised palm outwards in blessing. A green himation is draped over his shoulder in large folds with darker and lighter passages, over a red-terracotta tunic. His left hand holds an unrolled pale blue scroll with an inscription. The ground is pale cream with a fine foliate pattern; ornamental arches fill the upper corners and a band of diamonds runs along the bottom. The fill is partial: beads cover the figure, the vestments, the halo, the scroll and the corner ornament, while the face, the hands and the cream ground stay printed on the canvas.
