Icon: Our Lady of Tikhvin, Russian workshop. Our Lady of Tikhvin iconography, Mary mother of Jesus Christ, Consolation of All Who Sorrow iconography, Jesus Christ Bible, Our Lady and Child iconography, maphorion iconography, icons, angels, inscriptions, message. In the center of the icon is the Tikhvin image of the Mother of God. In the upper left corner is an inscription with the image Consolation of All Who Sorrow. The icon's form is linear and flat, with dark colors predominating—shades of brown, muted purple, and vermilion brightened with yellow. The faces are treated schematically; in the Consolation... scene there is a tendency toward synthesis and simplification: the scene is limited to the Mother of God in the center, standing with her arms outstretched, and four figures of the poor/suffering approaching Mary led by angels. No clasps. 19th century, Russia. Height 40.0 cm; width 33.8 cm., A painted religious image showing a seated adult figure holding a child figure against a dark brown background, both figures framed by circular golden halos; the adult wears a deep red garment with darker red folds and gold accents and has a solemn facial expression while the child wears a lighter red to orange robe with visible folds and bare feet; a small scene in the upper corner depicts a group of figures in muted browns and golds; the overall palette includes dark brown, deep red, lighter red to orange, gold, and hints of black.
