Winter in the Skete [Nesterov]

Winter in the Skete by Mikhail Nesterov (1862-1942). A skete is a small and out-of-the-way monastery, generally tucked away in an isolated area. Another of Nesterov's Symbolist paintings, originally done in 1904.

Detailed hand painted brooch from Russia, 2½" diameter. Gift boxed. 1 only, as shown.

NOTE: There may be "hot spots" in our photographs - white areas caused by studio lights reflecting off the shiny surface of the pin.
