This precious Russian icon is painted on a wooden and levkas board measuring 31.5x26cm, and depicting the Dormition of Mary.The Dormition of Mary is the scene of the passing of the Mother of God, represented on her deathbed surrounded by the Apostles, while Christ descends with the angels to welcome her soul depicted as a child in very white swaddling clothes.The Catholic dogma of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven indicates that immediately after her death the Virgin was taken up into Heaven with body and soul.
