Summary/Abstract: In 2023–2024, the royal icons from iconostasis of the church in the “Sts. Peter and Paul” Monastery near Lyaskovets were restored. The restoration made it possible to date and attribute these icons, as well as to comment on their donation. Their author is the Tryavna icon painter Pара Vitan, who worked for the monastery in 1804 and 1811. The founder of the icons painted in 1811 is Hieromonk Dositey Zografski. In all probability, this is connected with renovation activities at the very beginning of the 19th century, which completes the monastery history.
