Important signed icon of the Mother of God with Silver oklad, Russia, dated 1717, silver

Important signed icon of the Mother of God with Silver oklad, Russia, dated 1717, silver
(1280g), St. Petersburg, around 1717, master's mark in Cyrillic letters: MP, 55,7 x 46 cm
// The inscription below reads: This icon was painted by Lavrentij Tufanov in 1717 after
the model of the icon in the Elias street of the town Veliky Novgorod. The inscription on
the oklad has some spelling mistakes, also the year is wrongly indicated with 1713. In
addition, the glass rectangles with the gold letters are inserted the wrong way round on
the side of the head of the Mother of God. However, this is probably one of the earliest
documented silversmith's works from St. Petersburg, which was founded 1703. About the

Die Inschrift unten lautet in der Übersetzung: Diese Ikone hat Lavrentij Tufanov im Jahre 1717 nach dem Vorbild der Ikone in der Elias-Strasse der Stadt Gross-Novgorod gemalt. // Die Inschrift auf dem Oklad hat einige Rechtschreibfehler, auch das Jahr ist falsch mit 1713 angegeben. Zudem sind die Glasrechtecken mit den Goldbuchstaben zu Seiten des Hauptes der Gottesmutter falsch herum eingesetzt. Es dürfte sich aber um eine der frühest belegbaren Silberschmiedearbeiten aus St. Petersburg handeln, welche erst 1703 gegründet wurde.
