This inspired rendition of the Donskaya Mother of God icon is painted on a block of wood (5.5" x 7"x.75"), as done traditionally. It is signed by A.A. Mishin of Palekh. Upon close scrutiny it is possible to find a small crack in the paint (about .25" in length) in the lower left corner of Mary's robe. This small flaw has lead to a big discount of such a masterful work.
