In this icon, Mother of God of Vladimir, or Vladimirskaya, Christ sits on his mother's right arm and presses his cheek against hers. He has his left hand wrapped around her neck and holds her robe with his other hand.

Expectantly, he looks up at his mother, who holds him lovingly against her. She looks over her son in thought and is fully aware of the suffering that awaits him.

Characteristics of the Vladimirskaja are the bare feet of the child. The icon belongs to the so-called Umilenine or Eleousa type, where the emphasis is on Christ's human nature.

A moving icon.
