Hi Aaron,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The iconography of this Russian icon match the label on the back, which identifies this as The Transfiguration, a significant event in the life of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament, where His divine nature was revealed to three of His disciples. This event holds deep theological and symbolic importance in Christianity, often seen as a moment of revelation and connection between the earthly and divine.

The label on the back also identifies this as a 20th Century copy of an 18th or 19th Century icon. While I'm not finding any record of the Januax Frejtak workshop, comparably sized 20th Century icon replicas usually sell for between $200-300.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
