Virgin Mary Praying

The Virgin Mary Praying, with her lovable glance, the gown with soft color changes and the maphorion, the delicate peplum that covers her head and shoulders elaborated with three star shaped golden ornaments, constitutes a typical depiction of the Mother of God, following the standards of the Russian technique, with emphasis in the Trinity and in the incarnation role of the Virgin Mary.

The icon of the Virgin Mary Praying in the Russian technique is characterized by the strong features, the rosy flesh, the soft color shades, by the choice of colors that add radiance to the beauty of the Virgin Mary, an inner beauty that reflects her shining complexion. The Virgin Mary is depicted with slightly leaned head and closed hands, unlike those that pray with open hands, accentuating the spiritual introversion, and possible relation at Theophanis the Cretan.
