Description
Iconography of the Virgin Mary in Supplication on a naturally aged piece of wood, crafted by the hands of monks from Mount Athos.
An exceptional icon featuring the depiction of the Virgin Mary in Supplication.
The Virgin Mary is portrayed in a three-quarter turn to the right, depicted in supplication. The facial expression and the technique used to render the face—with a soft interplay of light and shadow, a broad luminous surface of rosy flesh tones, and delicate linear highlights—capture the gentle grace of her visage and the holy beauty of the Mother of God.
