The drawing is made with a quill, predominantly red-blue chromatics. The way the characters' physiognomies are rendered is noteworthy, with short and small necks. The characters' rounded faces are arguments in favor of attribution. The iconographic theme depicted on dark blue stands out very well. The iconographer, during this period, paints in pure tones, does not value the tone through gradients. The icon is dated, top-left, with black ”1891”. (M.B.)
