An exceptional hand-painted Russian icon depicting the revered Feodorovskaya Mother of God, one of the most venerated Marian images in the Russian Orthodox tradition. The Virgin tenderly embraces the Christ Child, while the composition is flanked by the Guardian Angel and St. Xenia of Petersburg, creating a deeply devotional and spiritually significant work. Executed in egg tempera with a luminous silvered background on a solid wooden panel, this icon reflects the refined craftsmanship of the late 18th to early 19th century. The harmonious composition, elegant facial expressions, and finely preserved inscriptions demonstrate the quality associated with traditional Russian icon painting. The icon has retained its original character with an attractive aged patina and honest signs of time. Its strong state of preservation, historical importance, and sacred symbolism make it an outstanding addition for collectors of Russian Orthodox art and important devotional icons. Condition: Original hand-painted surface with minor age-related wear, light oxidation to the silvered background, and scattered surface abrasions consistent with its age. Original wooden panel with old sliding battens. Well preserved with excellent overall presentation.
