Description
Description
A striking and extremely well-preserved icon of Our Lady of Tikhvin. Constructed of a gessoed wooden base, the obverse bears a hand-painted image of the Theotokos holding the infant Christ, with her hand pointing to her son as the saviour. With the exception of the subjects’ faces, hands, and feet, the image is covered by an ornate silvered brass/tin revetment which features the details of the robes of both Christ and the Theotokos, complete with raised and protruding halos. The pair are flanked by blue enameled oval medallions bearing gilded Greek characters “MP ƟY” (“Mother of God”), and are surrounded by a floral border. The icon is set within a large and high-quality plaster frame finished with muted gold paint. A central protrusion visible on the reverse accommodates the icon, and notably retains a label featuring handwritten provenance. The German-language inscription reads: “DIESE MADONNA WURDE VON MIR 4. AUGUST 1941 WÄHREND DAS KRIEGES DEUTSCHLAND-RUßLAND IN MALIN [NORDWESTLISCH VON KIEW] AUS DEM HAUSE NR. 26 DER TATJANA LAWORKA ENTFERNT UND VOR MÖGLICHEM VERDERB DURCH ARTILLERIE BESCHUß SICHERGESTELLT, FELDPOST 25294, AM 5 AUGUST 1941, REITER (?), HAUPTMANN U.
