Title: Antique Russian Orthodox Double-Sided Icon on Canvas – Baptism of Christ & Prophet Elijah – 21.25” x 17.3” ⸻ Description: Antique Russian Orthodox double-sided icon painted in oil on canvas, dating to the late 19th – early 20th century (Imperial Russia period). One side depicts the Baptism of Jesus Christ (Theophany), with Christ standing in the Jordan River, St. John the Baptist blessing Him, and the Holy Spirit descending as a dove. The reverse side shows the Prophet Elijah fed by a raven in the wilderness — a traditional biblical scene symbolizing divine providence. Double-sided icons of this type were used in Orthodox church practice for processions (religious шествия / cross processions), feast day services, and in small churches or chapels where icons could be displayed depending on the liturgical occasion. They were sometimes mounted in wooden frames or attached to processional poles so that the image was visible from both sides during religious ceremonies. Medium: oil on canvas Size: approximately 21.25 x 17.3 inches (54 x 44 cm) Condition: The icon shows clear signs of age and use. There are visible scratches, surface abrasions, areas of paint loss, and wear consistent with long-term storage and handling. Minor paint flaking is present. Please review all photos carefully, as they form part of the description. This is an original antique religious artwork from the Imperial Russian period, not a modern reproduction. Sold as is.
