An icon painting depicts Saint Simeon holding the infant Jesus

MontreuilFrance

An icon painting depicts Saint Simeon holding the infant Jesus. The figures are rendered in a traditional Byzantine style with halos. The man, identified by Greek lettering as "OSIOS SI...MON" (likely Saint Symeon) on the left and "ΛΙΛΑ ΝΟC" (possibly an abbreviation or inscription) on the right, has a long grey beard and wears a red robe over a green garment. He holds a swaddled infant, presumably Jesus, who looks upwards. Below the figures, a scroll with Greek text is visible. The painting is framed by a weathered, carved wooden border. The icon is situated within a carved recess, possibly a niche or part of a larger architectural feature. The background of the icon is a muted gold. The overall appearance suggests an aged religious artifact, likely in a place of worship or private devotion. This icon is located at the Église Saint-Nicolas in Montreuil, France.
