The icon has evolved relative to its early predecessors.  The painting is in line with comparable works of the Heptanese School. Compared to the Bathas version the figures are more detailed.  The folds of fabric feature more realistic lines and grooves.  The artist used a refined method of light and shadow.  The sphere represents the earth.  A cross appears on top of the sphere.  Jesus is to our left he is performing the traditional sign of the cross.  With his other hand, he points to God.  His celestial robe is floating in a spaceless setting.  The painter used the traditional brilliant blue and red color.  Jesus's flesh tones and facial features exhibit a refined realism.  The God figure to our right relays wisdom a similar figure is present in Masaccio's Holy Trinity.  His hair and facial features are painted in detail.  His majestic celestial garment exhibits striations.  God holds a scroll is his left hand.  God's other hand rests on the globe.  Both figures are floating on angel heads and clouds.  Behind the two figures, the artist painted parts of the angelic seraphim.  The white dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit floats above both figures in front of a sunlike sphere.  An aura radiates from the Holy Spirit coating the entire gold background.  The traditional Greek symbols are featured around the father and son.
