This hand-painted miniature Orthodox icon on wood is an interpretation of the Mother of God with the Infant icon, that has its roots in the colonial iconography of Peru. Although this icon is less common in Orthodox iconography, in interpretations specific to the Byzantine tradition, the icon is known as the "Andes Virgin & Child".
Original artwork by Ana Drăgan (DAM), painted in egg-tempera colours.
This interpretation of the Mother of God with the Infant has its source in the colonial iconography of Peru. The syncretism between Christian religious themes and folk art in the Andes area gave rise to representations of the Mother and Baby Jesus specific to the area. In this interpretation, the Mother of God is seen carrying Baby Jesus on her back, wrapped in the traditional bond that Peruvians use to keep their children close, while taking care of their daily chores.
The icon is less common in Orthodox iconography, but there are also interpretations specific to the Byzantine tradition, under the name of "Andes Virgin & Child".
One of the most widespread interpretations is that of the Peruvian artist Artemio Coanqui.

O icoana deosebita
Tusa este delicata si atenta, elementele decorative si culorile sunt placute si bine alese, iar tema este cu adevarat deosebita.
Intotdeauna in fata ochilor mei
Iconita cu Maica Domnului este de o frumusete aparte, chipurile Maicii si al Pruncului sunt atat de dulci incat chiar simti ca iti leagana sufletul. Iconita sta pe masa mea de lucru, intordeauna la 20 cm de ochii mei ceea ce cred ca spune tot despre perfecriunea muncii dumneavoastra. Multumesc mult, mult!
