Virgin of Tichvin

late 18th century, size 22 x 17 cm. The Tikhvinskaya is a variant of the Smolenskaya, but she isn't so strictly frontal anymore. The heads of mother and child are slightly turned to each other, which makes the icon somewhat kinder and less dogmatic. The child, in profile, is sitting on his mother's left arm, he has drawn up his right knee and shows the sole of his right foot. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture and in his left hand he holds a book roll. Every Icon is sold with extensive written expertise.
