The icon depicts the Virgin admiring the Child who usually, in Eleusa icons, is seen with His cheek pressed to His Mother's, and embracing Her.
Though the Ukrainian icon from the village of Dorosyni belongs to the same Eleusa type it has nevertheless a number of significant original features: the Child is painted on the left hand of Virgin (while in the Virgin of Vladimir, He is on the right) and corners of the icon present the archangels Gabriel and Michael, as in Hodigitria type icons.
The gestures of the hands of Virgin and the Child differ as well, while the position of Their legs is analogous. The artist also created an unusual image of Virgin.
Her face has an air of artless innocence and bears an expression of defenselessness, deeply moving in the light of the sufferings in store for Her and Her Child.
The decorative aspect of the icon is based on a restrained colour scheme with occasional bright yellow flash-like tones.
