Gilt Painted Wooden Icon Of Virgin and Child
Circa 18th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £182
Depicted crowned and nimbate in a central panel, the bust of the Virgin encased in a medallion with a cross pendant, with inside the Holy Spirit under shape of dove and with nimbus, four nimbate figures of Saint Anna, Saint Basil the Great, Saint Simeon and another Saint below; text in the fields. 796 grams, 28 cm

Ex French gallery, Paris.
The rare Marian iconographic typology is called ''Mother of God who softens sick hearts', where she carries the Holy Spirit on her breast, represented by a dove emitting rays of light. In particular, it is a variant of the Madonna Odighitria. Both the mother and the child are depicted as the queen and king of the universe: the Virgin wears a crown on her head and holds the Child, who is also blessing with the right hand. -
