The actual picture is dated 19th century, but I think it is 18th century.
I think it is from the 18th century.
The Christ Pantocrator is the first iconic image of Christ developed in the early Christian Church. In this auction image, Christ is holding a New Testament in His left hand and blessing with His right hand, as shown in the eighth reference photo. In the early Middle Ages, Christ was represented by a mandorlaal (a circular halo around the head).
It depicts Christ completely frontal, with a somewhat melancholy and severe aspect, and the right hand is a conventional rhetorical gesture of teaching. In his left hand, he holds a book with a closed cover, richly decorated with a cross representing the Gospel. The icon holding the book is called Christ the Teacher. Christ is bearded, with brown hair parted in the middle and a halo around his head. The gold ground on the icon corresponds to the gold surface of Byzantine mosaics.
