The Icon has a decorated frame and painted background. The upper two thirds of the icon present a classical in iconography interpretation of the Virgin Eleusa. The lower part features the full face, waist-length images of the four saints, listed above. The icon possesses all features of the representative Athonian icon-painting of the time. The images are exquisite, with beautiful faces.
Colours are bright, cheerful, precisely constructed.
The icon is a perfect work of art, cheerful and exuberant, lacking the inhibiting grayness of the icon-painting from the previous centuries. The icon has a frame of a complex profile imitating at the sides columns with capitals, ending at the top in an arch. The ornamentation consists of floral and geometrical filigree designs in both shallow and deep carving. The nimbus is decorated in the same ornamental design as the frame. The exquisite proportions of the figures, the beautiful faces with rosy cheeks, the elongated limbs, the delicate painting and the bright, precise colour scheme relate the work to Mount Athos art.
