The Madonna of the Game is depicted, which is a variant of the Madonna of Tenderness. Unlike the latter, here the style is more expressive, influenced by Western art. Jesus stirs in his mother's arms driven by the feeling of Passion. The icon is produced and made entirely by hand, by Russian artists, according to the principles of the Byzantine-Russian school of icons. It is plated with gold leaf, on a solid lime wood panel. It is interesting to note that the ''craquelé'' technique was used, which gives the image an ancient tone. On the back, there is a stamped guarantee certificate and a small hook.
