Tempera on panel. Transylvanian school, 19th century. The work, missing a portion on the right, depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned with the Child Jesus on her lap, who holds the sacred scriptures in one hand and points the way with the other. An archangel appears in the upper left. The Romanian iconographic school has more popular connotations than the Byzantine or Greek Orthodox, particularly in the less severe and more human, less aloof faces, and in the more earthly color choices. The icon shows several missing colors and small damage to the panel.
