A framed religious print, possibly a chromolithograph, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child
A framed religious print, possibly a chromolithograph, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. The vertically oriented print is encased in a narrow, light-colored frame. The Virgin Mary, positioned on the right side of the composition, is portrayed as a young woman with dark hair, a serene expression, and a direct gaze towards the viewer. A faint golden halo encircles her head. She is attired in a reddish-pink tunic featuring gold patterned trim on the sleeves, a light-toned shawl draped over her head and shoulders, and a blue-green outer robe. Her left arm supports the Christ Child, while her right hand also cradles him. The Christ Child, positioned on the left, is depicted as an infant with light, curly hair, a faint golden halo, and a gaze slightly averted to the viewer's left. He is unclothed and rests upon a draped golden-yellow fabric. His left arm is extended towards Mary's shoulder, and his right arm rests on the fabric. The background of the print transitions from a light blue-green hue at the top to a darker shade towards the bottom. The print's surface exhibits significant wear, evidenced by numerous small white speckles and abrasions, particularly noticeable on the faces of both figures and the child's body. This framed artwork is located in the city of Усть-Сарапулка, Russia.
