"Isn't God the Father not supposed to pictured in icons anthropomorphically?

You are correct Mark. Angles however are not an anthropomorphic depiction of the Father. This icon is of an OT "type" for the Holy Trinity. The anthropomorphic depiction of the Father is a picture called the "Ancient of Days" which is said to be heretical. There is no icon of God the Father alone. The only non-heretical depiction is in the Trinity Icons after the fashion of the one I posted or that of Rubelev.
