Mini kit icona ricamata con perline su tela d'artista «Sant'Igor»

“St. Igor” is a prince in a pointed red cap with fur trim. Red robes, a green underdress and blue patterning.

What the picture shows

The prince looks straight at the viewer: a fair beard, a cap with fur trim and beaded stones. A red cloak falls from his shoulders and green clothing embroidered with blue and yellow beads in small flower shapes shows beneath it. His right hand is pressed to his chest, his left holds the edge of the cloak. The halo is worked in amber beads, the ground is golden rays with a few red dots at the top. A pale name plaque closes the composition at the bottom between two ornamental squares, and a narrow gold border runs round the edge. Beads take the clothing, the halo and the border, while the face and hands stay printed on the canvas, and the radiance behind is print too.
