專家說明

The Peshekhonov workshop was established in St Petersburg by Makariy Peshekhonov in the 1820s and was taken over by his son Vasily after his death in 1852. The family’s workshop was famous for its very distinct and ornate strapwork backgrounds, as well as its very fine painting. In 1856 Vasily Peshekhonov was awarded the status of Imperial Court icon painter.

Leonid Kniazev (1851-1929) was born into a noble Russian family. Having served as Governor of Tobolsk, Vologda, Kostroma and Governor General of Irkutsk, he was subsequently appointed a member of the Russian State Council in 1916. It is possible to suggest that this icon was presented to Kniazev during his visit to St Abraham Gorodetsky monastery in the Kostroma region.
