Ancient Russian quadripartite icon of the Crucifixion, 19th century, 12x10 in

Ancient Russian quadripartite icon of the Crucifixion, 19th century, 12x10 inches. Ancient quadripartite icon from Moscow, painted by hand in the 19th century, representing the Crucifixion in the centre, separating four icons of the Mother of God.
The first icon of the Theotokos, Softener of Evil Hearts, helps relieve physical and mental pain through prayer, softining hearts and was the image interceding between enemy factions.
The historical informations about this icon are light, but it probably comes from the South-West of Russia.
The Mother of God is also represented with seven swords piercing her heart, three per side and one from underneath. This symbolic number indicates the fulness and boundless sorrow, pain and "sickness of heart" experienced by the Virgin Mary at her Son's crucifixion.
The second icon is known as Mother of God Assuage my Sorrows, brought in Moscow from the Cossacks in 1640 and become famous after a miracle in 1760.
The image depicts the deeply-felt pain of the Mother of God on the Golgotha, when her only child is unfairly dying. So she takes all humanity suffering onto herself.
On the scroll held by Jesus, it is written "Judge with justice, mercy and kindness".
The third icon is connected to the story of Theophilus' penance, treasurer of a church. After praying in front of an image of the Theotokos, he called it "The Hope of the Sinners".
The half-length portrait of the Mother of God and the posture of the Infant Jesus are two of the main characteristics of this icon, where Mary's hands create a circle around Jesus' figure.
The fourth icon is called Seeker of the Perishing. There are no reliable accounts of the origin of this icon of the Theotokos, but there are several wonderworking icons of this name.
