Description: Here is a unique opportunity to own a Primative Romanian icon. The subject of this painting is Adam and Eve at the moment that Eve gave Adam the forbidden fruit. The serpent twists around the fruit laden tree and the scene is bordered with crude vining flowers. Colors are vibrant and the icon retains its original pine frame. Icons like this were reverse painted on glass and produced in cottage workshops then sold at markets to the Romanian peasantry. They were copied from religious prints. The flowers around the border of the image are an invention of the peasant artist. The icon measures approximately 12 inches by 17 inches and .25 inches thick. The item(s) are antique and sold as is and as found. It may show wear, fading, scratches, stains, creases, original imperfections and/or other forms of damage. I note damage to the frames from wear and paint loss, mostly to right side, as shown in photos. Examine photos carefully as they are part of the description. Imperfections were factored into pricing. No returns or refunds.
