A deeply expressive representation of the Mother of God Feodorovskaya (Tenderness type), one of the most revered Marian icons in Russian Orthodox tradition. The Virgin inclines her head toward Christ, their cheeks touching in a gesture of compassion and divine love — symbolizing the intimate bond between the human and the divine. This icon follows the Feodorovskaya variant, associated with protection, family blessing, and spiritual intercession. The presence of side saints enhances its devotional purpose, typical of 19th-century Russian workshop icons intended for personal prayer. Executed in traditional egg tempera on wood, the icon retains its original character with visible aging, worn gilding, and a beautifully softened surface that reflects its history and authenticity. Thank you to the collector for the trust and appreciation of sacred art. “𝔒𝔩𝔡 𝔴𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰 𝔥𝔬𝔩𝔶 𝔰𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰”
