Description

The Deesis portrays Christ in what appears to be a throne, surrounded by Saints and Mother Mary. The piece is tempera on panel, and is Russian in origin, dating back to the mid 15th century AD. It is very symmetrical in terms of the layout of the figures on it, and their positioning with respect to Christ, who is placed prominently in the center.
