Note du spécialiste


Countess Vera Vladimirovna Bobrinskaya (neé Golitsyna) was the daughter of Princess Sofia Nikolaevna Golitsyna and Prince Vladimir Mikhailovich Golitsyn. The icon was a gift from her mother, most likely a blessing for her marriage to Count Lev Alexeevich Bobrinsky which took place in 1901.
