The Mother of God is shown half-length, her head inclined towards her son. Her right hand is raised, pointing to Christ borne on her left arm. She wears a maroon cloak richly decorated in gold. Christ looks at his mother, raising his right hand in blessing and holding a small scroll in his left hand. Framing the central panel on both sides are images of two saints, St Alexis on the left and St Theodosia on the right.
