* 123. SOFRONOV, PIMEN 1898-1973
St. Luke as Evangelist and Iconographer signed.
Tempera on canvas, 208 by 130 cm.
20,000-40,000 Pounds
This was one of Sofronov’s favourite themes, with a small variation, which he used on his letterhead and business cards.
His signature as “Sofronow” with a “w” makes it likely that the artist finished this work shortly before or after he emigrated to the United States.
See written catalogue for details.
