[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 4472775, member: 76316"]The paper is ~3½ X ~4½ inches. It doesn't correctly fit the frame, so they're not really associated. Some things I've noticed about the image: The Cross seems to be of extremely unproportional dimensions... The applied color is crudely done, especially the red on garments... The leaping stag & standing doe in the woods, and the rabbit ears near the RF carriage wheel (these look incongruent with the overall theme; could the rabbit be a form of signature?) The winged cherubs...angels...drawing the carriage, in a wholly earthen scene... On the back of the stiff board holding everything in the frame are two (assumed) dates: 1630 over 1690 (in grease-pencil, upside down to the frame)... I've had it over 50 years, and have done no research in that time. I'm not Christian, and have very little knowledge of icons, from any faith. Your comments are welcome, of course. Thanks for looking!
