история:
It is important not only as a proof that icon painting before the period of iconoclasm achieved a high level of excellence, but as a basis of hypotheses about the developments in iconography.

композиция:
At the top of the panel we may still see the two small medallions, of Christ on the left, and of the Virgin on the right,
forming, together with the head of St John, a simple, albeit reshuffled, Deesis, expressing the idea of the intercession.
St John is dressed in a brown tunic and mantle, and in a sheepskin (melote), often emphasized in later icons.
На свитке слова из евангелия от Иоанна по-гречески: "Се агнец божий, вземляй грех мира".
