Above the cloud, dividing the composition in two, in the red oval mandorla – the Mother of God, stretched out with both hands a white cover. Above her in the round red mandorla is Christ, blessing with both hands.

On the sides of the Mother of God are archangels, apostles, saints, saints, martyrs. Above them is the top of the multi-headed temple. Under the cloud, in the interior of the temple, before the Royal gates of the iconostasis – St. Roman Sladkopevets with a scroll of chants. To his right is St. Andrew the Foolish with the disciple Epiphany and the queen Zoya; on the left – Patriarch Tarasy and Tsar Lev.

The work is interesting in iconographic respect, it is distinguished by high professionalism of execution.
