The icon presents images of St. Alexius, the man of God and holy nun Evdokia. The figures of the saints are in full growth in a landscape, creating monumental images of Christian ascetics. Above the clouds there is the image of a Christ; the Saviour's right hand is folded in a gesture of blessing, the left lies on the globe, a symbol of the universe.
