The artwork titled “Theotokos of Pochaev” was created by Orthodox Icons in 1776 and belongs to the Galicia-Volyn school of art. Measuring 38 x 25 cm, this icon falls into the genre of religious icons and is part of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God series.
The artwork portrays the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus Christ, a central theme in Christian iconography. Both figures are adorned with crowns, signifying their holy and regal status. Mary is depicted wearing a red cloak and blue garment, which are traditional colors associated with her attire in religious art.
