專家說明

It appears that the present icon was a gift to Frederick VIII of Denmark (1843-1912), the brother of Empress Maria Feodorovna. When the icon was sold at Sotheby's in 1974, it was offered with the original fitted velvet case, applied with a plaque inscribed 'To the Royal Grand Duke of Denmark; may the Holy Virgin, the Guardian Angels of the late Emperor, our beloved benefactor, and of the Empress, your beloved sister, keep you alive for many long and happy years, Moscow, May 22nd, 1896, with respect and devotion from the faithful servant, A. Arapoff.' It appears that the marks were incorrectly identified when the icon was sold in 1974.
