19th-century Russian icon depicting the Trinity of Abraham, a traditional theme in Orthodox Christian iconography, inspired by the famous fresco by Andrei Rublev.
The icon is richly decorated and set with semi-precious stones in the halos of the three central figures, which represent the angels of the Trinity. The border of the icon is finely crafted with a floral and geometric ornamentation in relief and polychrome enamels.
The predominant colors are red, gold, and green, typical of Russian iconographic art, with refined details in the garments and architecture in the background. The background features golden elements that give a mystical luminosity to the scene.
The scene depicts the biblical account of the visit of the three angels to Abraham at the oak of Mamre (Genesis 18:1-15). The three angelic figures seated around a table are traditionally interpreted as a manifestation of the Holy Trinity.
The cartouche at the bottom contains the inscription in Cyrillic “?????? ??????”, which means “Holy Trinity”, confirming the subject.
