This 1871 work by Alexandros Lykourgos (1827-1875) is a portrait of the Archbishop of Syra and Tenos. The image, likely a photograph, shows the Archbishop in full regalia, with a focus on his dignified bearing and religious garb. The title page, "Report - His Grace the Archbishop of Syra and Tenos, On his Journey to England," suggests that this portrait was part of a book documenting the Archbishop's travels. This small-scale work, measuring only 219 mm in height and 125 mm in width, provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of a prominent religious figure from the 19th century.
