This drawing is a contemporary icon of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with both figures shown in a stylized, frontal pose, characteristic of Orthodox Christian art. The Virgin and Child icon is a window to the divine, depicting Mary as the Theotokos (God-bearer) who bridges the gap between heaven and earth, and the Christ Child as Emmanuel (God with us) who came to redeem humanity.
