description At the exhibition dedicated to the history and culture of the Old Believers in the Museum of Russian Icon, a number of objects of copper artistic casting expanding our understanding of the development of this type of applied art were presented. During the pre-exhibition research three signed and dated objects were identified as a part of the complex of Moscow Old Believers plastics. Among them one can find a rare triptych “Deesis, with selected saints” of 1798/1799. The date (from the creation of the world) was engraved on the lower end.The image of the “Mother of God and Child” (“Kazansksya”) 1809/1810 from the museum collection belongs to the same group of dated monuments. These two items are the works created by master Mikhail Gupkin. His career started in Moscow at the end of the 18th century and then continued in Kaluga. Two signed and dated items from the collection of the Museum of Russian Icon appear to be a valuable addition to the complex of copper-cast plastic made by the master in his Kaluga period.The Moscow group of subscription copper casting is supplemented with an icon made after the model of master Ignat Timofeev. This image of the “Mother of God and Child” (“Kazanskaya”) is distinguished by the inscription on the upper smooth frame of the centerpiece: “S IK KA IG TI”. These first letters of five words can be deciphered as followed: “Siya Ikona Kazanskaya IGnata Timofeeva” (“This Kasanskaya icon made by Ignat Timoeev”). Later the works of this master, who carried out orders from the Preobrazhenskaya Old Believers community became the basis of Moscow copper workshops’ range of products.
