It shows Mary in the type of hodigitria [showing the way], holding Emmanuel on her right shoulder, making an ambiguous gesture with her other hand – pointing to her son, while keeping her hand on her heart – the source of grace. The performance is dominated by three colors: gold – the symbol of royalty and heaven’s vestibule, red – love, and turquoise – referring to the mystery of the incarnation.
