Decorative icon of an apostle on a wooden panel with a crackle patina

Hand-painted icon of an apostle, executed on a heavy wooden panel with a gold-colored background and red border. The paint layer features a regular crackle pattern and sanding marks, deliberately applied to create an antique appearance. The back shows modern saw marks and later drill holes, consistent with reproductions from the late 20th century.

The panel has a warm, characterful appearance and strong color contrasts, emphasizing the cloak and the scroll the apostle holds. Suitable as a decorative, iconic object with a traditional look.
