Stake attention in this memory
An Eastern Orthodox icon of the Virgin Mary and Christ child is displayed prominently on a grey, textured wall, illuminated by directional lighting. The icon is framed with an ornate gold riza, featuring intricate embossed patterns and a halo-like aureole. The figures within the icon are painted in traditional Byzantine style, with muted colors and serene expressions. Below the icon, a dark placard provides descriptive text in Russian. The placard identifies the icon as "The Kazan Mother of God," dating it to the late 16th - early 17th century with overpainting from the late 18th century. It also mentions the re-gilding in 1793 in Moscow and attributes the master to Egor Petrov. The placard also notes its previous ownership by the collection of I. I. Zaidelsman (USA, 1970-1990s). The surrounding environment is dark and appears to be a museum setting, with other display cases or objects visible in the blurred background. The overall presentation suggests a cultural heritage exhibition.
