Сообщение от Stanislavsky

No it is not "a guide to", and Our Lady of Smolensk, as Leonardo did not paint icons. If you want to talk about the iconography of a professional, you should avoid such "terms", such as "canonical" or "elongated shape".

Dear Stanislavsky, a line of icons called "Hodegetria" which translates "a guide to". Virgin of Smolensk too Hodegetria like many other icons of the Mother of God's right hand which indicates Bogomladentsa Christ, seated on his left hand. These symbols tell people the true path.
