The Virgin with Child Pelagonitissa
It is an iconographic sub-theme of Glykophilousa-type representations (see canon), also known as the Virgin with the Playing Child. Its characteristic trait is the Child's position who turns his back to the viewer, still caressing the Virgin's cheek, his head touching closely hers.
