Abstract
The work of the iconographer Nikola Vasilev from Shumen is an interesting research topic because of the unique artistic style, longevity and productivity of the artist, as well as because of the wide geographical area of his artistic activity. The investigation of one of his newly discovered icons revealed an additional and extremely curious detail, which complements his manner as an artist and reinforces the perceptions of his personality – his personal handwriting. Present paper aims to express and substantiate the assumption that Vasilev had a habit of inscribing the backs of the icons he painted, taking notes on them. It is assumed that an inscription on the back of an icon “St. Minas with selected saints” signed by Nikola Vasilev displays his personal handwriting.
