The icon shows the Mother of God of Fedorovskaya type, one of the variants of the Hodegetria icons. It is a central Russian work from the first half of 19th century A.D. The Fedorovskaya icon of the Mother of God or Virgin of Kostroma is honoured by the Orthodox church as a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary. It is kept in the city of Kostroma, in the Cathedral of Epiphany-Anastasia. Legend attributes its creation to Saint Luke the Evangelist. Its iconography is similar to that of Our Lady of Vladimir. She is also revered as one of the icons of the Romanov house linked to the election in 1613 of the founder of the dynasty Michael Romanov who lived his youth in Kostroma.
