Tikhvin Mother of God.
19th century, egg tempera, gold leave gesso on wood panel, borders painted in simulated enamel on a punched ground, two inset splints from reverse.
According to tradition, the icon of the Virgin Tikhvin was transported from Constantinople to Russia by angels in 1383, appearing above the waters of Lake Ladoga before coming to rest in the town of Tikhvin. One of the variants of the Virgin Hodegetria type, marked by a somewhat less formal pose of the Christ Child.
