Shops Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist, Orthodox Icon

Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist (Made to Order)

Saint Matthew the Apostle, holding Gospel book, and in a gesture of a blessing.

Pictured shops is a 5 inch x 7 inch icon.

I use the traditional technique of icon painting in the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. I use egg tempera on a birch or maple wood board.

Note options available include several size boards and whether gold leaf is used. "With gold Leafing means the entire background will be gold leaf, without gold leaf for this listing is what is pictured, black back ground with gold leaf halo.
When ordering an icon with a height of 6 inches or above please message me indicating whether you would like half figure (what is pictured) or full figure. It is recommended that all square boards of what ever size be half figure icons.

Made to order icons will take at least 4 weeks before they will be ready to ship. If you need the icon within less than 4 weeks message me, depending of the current volume of orders, I might be able to complete the icon within 2 1/2 to 3 weeks.
