Research information

A similar icon was published in "... Through me, Ioan Pop the Painter", by Ioana Rusoiu, Elena Băjenaru, Ana Dumitran, and Szőcs Fülöp Károly, Alba Iulia, 2008, page 78, position 34.

Situated on a throne of Brâncovenesc inspiration, crowned, the Mother holds the Infant on her left arm and guides towards him with her right. The Infant, with his left hand, rests on his knee the globus cruciger, and with his right he blesses the viewer, however looking towards the face of his mother, as if approving her requests. (A.D.)
