From the museum record
This triptych icon was probably commissioned by a lay person for private prayer and meditation. It could be folded and shut when not in use. The scenes represented from left to right are: The Crucifixion (left); The Resurrection and Anastasis (center); and Adoration of the Miracle-Working Icon of the Vladimir Mother of God (right). Small portable icons such as this were common to later Russian religious practice.
Lupin’s visual index
a dark and solemn russian orthodox icon depicts christ on the cross surrounded by grieving figures and a cityscape.
