Natalia Guzik. Painting the Church, 2005

In the foreground of the painting a priest talks with artists who are about to paint a church. To the right of the icon painters, on a table, stand two vessels with brushes and a jug. To the left of the priests is another table with three icons, a vessel for brushes and scales with two measuring pans.

The domed part of the church is shown as two arches with frescoes of the faces of saints and angels. On the right the author depicted scaffolding: work in the church is still under way. The reverse bears the author's details and an inscription recording a gift to the Museum of the History of World Cultures and Religions in 2022.
