About this work

This watercolor shows four robed figures in a temple setting. Three stand in the front, wearing golden halos and simple clothes. One holds a baby, another offers a basket of birds, and the third gestures toward the scene. Behind them, a grand archway and columns frame a distant cityscape, painted in soft blues and greens. The basket of birds is a quiet detail—red and green, arranged neatly. The artist copied an older painting, but added their own loose, brushy style.

Trupul adormit al Maicii Domnului este susținut pe brațe de o mulțime de credincioși, preoți, arhierei, mitropoliți, ucenici, sfinți părinți. Mulțimea de oameni este sugerată printr-o mare de capete. Trăsăturile Chipului Maicii Domnului sunt pictate cu măiestrie. În registrul inferior, pe o pardoseală roz este un înger ocrotitor. În registrul superior, în dreapta sunt elemente de arhitectură, la ferestre fiind iarăși și iarăși personaje privind cu tristețe și îndurerare. Toate chipurile din icoană arată tristețea și durerea despărțirii de Maica Domnului mult-iubită. În stânga, Dumnezeu-Tatăl o ia de mână pe Maica Domnului, ridicând-o la Cer, și cuprinzând-o în brațele părintești. Maica Domnului este asemenea unei fetițe, ca în icoana cu Intrarea Maicii Domnului în biserică. Cromatica este armonioasă, delicată și rafinată: roșu sângeriu, roz, albastru cobalt, gri, alb, bej, brun, negru. Inscripția din româno-chirilică se traduce Adormirea Maicii Domnului IC XC Iisus Hristos. Icoana este încadrată de un chenar decorativ geometrizant reprezentat de un lanț ondulatoriu.
