The Queen stands at your right hand

The Queen stands at your right hand (in Russian: « Предста Царица одесную Тебе » Also called déisis real) is a deisis type icon. It represents Jesus Christ sitting on his throne, adding details such as the “Tsar of Tsars” or the “High Priest” with, at his side, Mary dressed as a queen and John the Baptist.

Among the destroyed frescoes, of which photographs are preserved from the Church of the Transfiguration (the Savior of Kovalev), in Novgorod, there was a representation of the same type with the Theotokos and Christ only, but without John the Baptist.
