DescriptionRussian icon. The appearance of three angels seated around a table (with a brocade design) with three chalices on it. Each angel has outstretched wings and holds a white staff. In the background there is a flat rendition of a building to the left countered by a dark cave in a hillside with a tree to the right. The landscape forms a pronounced diagonal line through the composition.Collections
