Below is a Portrait of Saint Seraphim of Sarov. It is at the Russian Orthodox Convent Novo-Diveevo Nanuet in New York. This portrait was painted while Saint Seraphim was alive, and he only agreed to the painting of this portrait, and several other faithful depictions of himself, with great reluctance, giving in the to enthusiasm of those who held him in honour.
“Who am I, a wretched man, that my portrait should be painted? It is good to depict the faces of God and the Saints, but we are men, and sinful men.”
