Plate 18. The Virgin and Child. Iconographically this miniature is connected with the analogous work of 1317 by Toros Taronatsi, which the painter based on his iconographic version called the "Milk-feeder". Later this iconographic version was changed and finally the version by Grigor Tatevatsi's pupil appeared.
