Diese attraktive Ikone entstand unter Stileinflüssen der Region Obere Wolga. Als Randheilige wählte der Auftraggeber dieser Ikone den heiligen Demetrius (hier in kaiserlichem Ornat) links sowie rechts die heilige Berenike. Bei der vorliegenden Tafel handelt es sich um eine Arbeit, die in ihrer Malweise und Herkunft nur selten auf dem Markt vertreten ist.
