The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Sign is in the Torgov quarter of Veliky Novgorod, E. of the Volchov River. Its date is 1688 and the frescoes were painted by local artists from Krostroma in 1702 which survive. For the most part other frescoes we saw in churches were restorations or subject to the practise of continually overpainting, so these stood out, and also because they include secular scenes.
