This is the oldest icon in the Collection of Icons Sekulić. It shows the Old Testament representation of the Holy Trinity in the form of three men, which is also the first sighting of Christ on Earth. The theme is illustrated by the depiction of three angels sitting at a table of Abraham and Sarah. The harmonious and simple composition, the skill of painting slender figures of elegant and graceful movements, as well as the modelling of the characters indicate an experienced icon painter. Judging by the general art concept, the author of this icon is a typical representative of painting in the late 14th and early 15th century.
