A powerful and expressive representation of the Virgin presenting Christ as “The Way.” The elongated features, restrained color palette, and finely incised gilded background reflect the traditional iconographic canon preserved in Russian workshops of the period. Executed in egg tempera on wood with gold leaf ground, this icon carries more than two centuries of history. The visible craquelure, areas of wear, and softened gilding are consistent with its age and devotional use. The original wooden panel with dual rear support slats remains intact, confirming its authentic construction. An important devotional image that once served not merely as art, but as a spiritual presence within the home. Grateful this historic piece has found its new home. “𝔒𝔩𝔡 𝔴𝔬𝔬𝔡 𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰 𝔥𝔬𝔩𝔶 𝔰𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰”
