The offered lot reflects the style of those generally associated with icons produced in the higher quality workshops in and around Moscow. Such icons not only drew heavily on old traditional styles, but in reinterpretations of the old style, as well as contemporary Western European works. As such, one can see the influence of numerous artists in the offered lot, such as Nesterov, Brullov and even the Danish painter, Carl Bloch.
