Zestaw do haftu koralikowego – ikona „Św. Włodzimierz”

“St. Vladimir” is a prince in a crown holding a large cross before him.

What the picture shows

The figure is shown to the waist, with a long grey beard and a level gaze. A gold crown with a pearl rim and dark stones sits on his head. The dress is princely: a green robe dense with gold embroidery, a wide jewelled band across the shoulder, and a pale blue cloak over it. Both hands hold a tall gold cross raised towards his right shoulder. The halo is gold, the ground cream with an embossed scroll; beaded fans fill the upper corners and a plaque above carries his name. The beads fill the robe, the band, the cloak, the cross and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

At 230×300 mm the icon is noticeable without crowding a shelf. The beads are sewn on one at a time, in rows running the same way, so the surface lies flat and catches the light evenly across the whole piece. The frame in the photograph does not come with the kit — it is picked separately to suit the room.
