Diese Johannesikone steht in direkter Verbindung zu der ebenfalls in dieser Auktion angebotenen Lukasikone (Los 6316). Die Ikone mit der Darstellung des Evangelisten Johannes entstammt aus einer recht grossen Ikonostasen-Königstüre, in deren linken Flügel sie oben ihren Platz hatte. Insbesondere die in barocker Manier gemalten Akanthusranken um die Evangelistensymbole lassen die Entstehung der Ikone in die Pomorje-Region, den Einflussbereich des berühmten Klosters Solovki, verorten.
