In the left hand Christ carries open gospel. He is dressed in red long shirt with wide sleeves. Simplicity, coordination with simple forms of planes are usual for composition of Novgorod painting. Strict graphic drawing of arms, legs and body is usual for man's image. In this style of drawing icons features are slightly meant and simplified.
Novgorod painting is distinguished by bright colours.
Saint Georgi is presented in the form of young hero, riding on horse, which remines horses from Russian tales. Above saint's head flutters bright dark scarlet cloak. Below under horse's hoots is dragon. Comparison of sun and horse obviously is not accidentally. In old Slav myths horse was closely connected with sun god.
