Byzantine icon Mother of God Vladimir, hand-painted in tempera in Romania, 31x23 cm. The image, highlighted with gold leaf, depicts the Mother of God holding the Child Jesus on a gilded background with Greek inscriptions. The Virgin is shown with her head inclined, covered by a deep‑red mantle with light borders over a blue inner garment; the Child wears a reddish‑orange tunic and presses his face to his Mother with an arm around her neck. The composition underlines the chromatic contrast between the Virgin’s mantle and the Child’s robe, the direct contact of the faces and the hands that visibly support the body, emphasizing the bond between the figures. Created on a wooden panel with an antique‑effect finish and a thickness of 2.5 cm; actual dimensions 31x23x2.5 cm. Each Our Lady of Vladimir icon is delivered with a certificate of guarantee.
