My final "model" was a blend of three. From left to right:
The "Novgorod", the "Classic" and the "Moscow" Vladimirskaya.
This book of Moscow Icons - a gift from my wife for our wedding - had a picture of the "right" Vladimirskaya with the green backgound. The miniatures were less suitable, though.
We went to Moscow in 1991 and the Tretyakov Gallery happened to be closed for 'remont', so we missed Vladka. We did see other ones though, notably in the Uspensky Sobor.
Some inspiration
