An exceptionally fine piece from a centre famous for icon production and with an interesting provenance, having remained in the hands of the same family since the 1820s. The note in the glass reads: “Vsevolod Soloviev 1879, 15th August, Tsarskoe Selo. My father has been blessed with this icon of Virgin Mary of Kazan by Igumenya in Kazan Convent in the city of Yaroslavl on the 8th July 1827. From then on the icon has always stayed with my father, both at home and in his later travels around Europe. In the first year of my life (1849) I was having strong fits and when the doctor announced that my death is inevitable the icon was hung above my cradle and I have not parted with it ever since. It has been with me during my trips and travels around Russia and Western Europe. After my death I entrust my son to honor this icon as sacred family heritage and to never part with it, as did I and my father. May Virgin Mary protect you all from sickness and misfortune”.
