Abstract
The work is painted in egg tempera on gesso, on a wooden panel, and is dated by inscription to the eighteenth century. It is an heirloom of a Greek refugee family of Cappadocian origin, which had lived at Adapazarı, near Constantinople (Istanbul). Depicted on the central panel of the triptych is the Virgin in bust, in the type of the Unwithering Rose (Rhodon to Amaranton), and figures of saints adorn the wings. The style is Western with regard to the modelling of the figures, but the painted space is articulated in accordance with Byzantine tradition and aesthetics.
