Icon of the Mother of God and Infant Christ (Virgin Eleousa)
A painting on a gold background depicts a woman with light skin wearing a hooded dark-red robe and head covering with gold trim; she has blue fabric showing under the head covering and on her right wrist. The woman holds a small child wearing a blue robe and gold pants. The woman's face is angled down to the right toward the child; her right hand supports the child's back, and her left hand supports the child, who is holding a white scroll. The child is looking up at the woman. The woman's right arm is exposed; she has a large nose and heavy eyebrows. The painting's surface has a textured appearance.
