Description
In the West, the icon of the Mother of God of Tenderness (Virgin of Tenderness), is almost always equated with the icon of the Mother of God of Vladimir (Virgin of Vladimir), the treasure of Russia and one of Russia's most venerated icons. In both cases the faces of Mother and Child are touching affectionately, but in Tenderness the Mother simply accepts the signs of affection demonstrated by the Child, while she is sometimes looking elsewhere.
