"Winter Silence at Trinity Monastery" - 5x7 Encaustic Photograph on Wood

This evocative 5x7 encaustic photograph, mounted on a wood panel, captures the tranquil beauty of the Trinity Monastery of Saint Sergius at Sergiyev Posad, Russia, enveloped in winter's embrace.

Mounted on natural wood, the artwork has an organic, timeless quality that transforms the photograph into a piece that is both tactile and visually captivating.

Signed and ready to hang, this unique artwork brings a sense of quiet reflection to any space, evoking the serene beauty and spiritual stillness of Russia’s historic landscapes.
