Russian icon with original tempera paint. The picture shows a church office-bearer in a red robe, standing near a table with a staff in his hand. On the table a sheet trimmed with gold and ecclesiastical objects displayed on it. The whole is painted against the background of an old building. Possibly a monastery or church. Titled bottom left. Some think that the origin of this icon is in Ukraine. The icon has been torn by antiquity. This is not fixed, just held together.
