Khatsko’s glass icons are known for their jewel‑like glow, rich color, and intricate detail, and this example features vibrant robes, gilded halos, and a striking patterned background that read beautifully in photographs and on display. The image is framed in a vintage wood frame, ready to hang or stand, and makes a meaningful devotional piece, a special gift, or a standout accent for a traditional, Old World, or eclectic interior. Ideal for collectors of Ukrainian art, Eastern Orthodox icons, Marian art, and reverse glass paintings, this one‑of‑a‑kind work adds both spiritual depth and strong visual impact to any icon corner, gallery wall, or mantel.
