This painting was discovered in the Hall attic, perhaps brought back through trade. The icon, now believed to be from the Ukraine, depicts three saints, two of which are from the Kiev area – possibly Saint Barbara, Saint Anthony of Kiev, Saint Bishop Mitrophan (possibly of Voronezh), Saint Theodosius of Kiev, and the Virgin Mary.
