Tenderness is the type of icon of the Mother of God in which Mother and Child touch face to face. There is no distance and no formal presentation - the Christ Child presses against His Mother's cheek and reaches for her chin, while she lowers her gaze toward whoever is looking at the icon. In the Greek tradition this type is called Eleousa, the merciful one. Beside the halos stand the usual abbreviations ΜΡ ΘΥ and ΙΣ ΧΣ, and the gold inscriptions are worked in relief.
On this piece the icon is mounted on a board painted deep turquoise with visible brush strokes, with dark forged-looking bands and brass studs nailed at top and bottom. Against the turquoise ground the warm tones of the faces and the gold come forward more strongly than they would on a gilded or dark board. This is an icon for a room where colour is not avoided - above a chest of drawers, in a child's room, or in a kitchen that is genuinely the heart of the house.

- Hand-finishing. Every piece is finished and checked by hand before the final coat.
