Abstract
The article is devoted to the icon “The Intercession of the Theotokos (the Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary)” from the collection of the Vyatka Art Museum. The researchers discovered the icon of the expedition to Lalsk in 1976. The state of preservation of the monument caused serious concern. As a result of the planned restoration, it was possible to obtain one of the remarkable examples of icon painting art. In addition, a signature was discovered, allowing the icon to be dated 1734, and the names of the Kuznetsov dynasty of icon painters were also discovered. The iconography of the Feast of the Intercession of the Theotokos chosen by the authors is of research interest. As well as the reflection in it of the traditions of the leading iconographic schools of Russia and local customs. The icon is another newly discovered signed and dated monument of Vyatka icon painting of the first half of the 18th century.
