An aged, vertically oriented oil painting, set in an ornate gold-colored frame, is depicted at a low angle against a plain light-colored wall with a visible arched ceiling. The painting portrays the Dormition of the Theotokos (Assumption of Mary). The central figure, a deceased female (Mary) with a halo, lies on a bier, clad in red and blue. She is flanked by two prominent bearded male figures, likely apostles, dressed in a blue tunic and brown robe (left) and a green garment (right). Other figures are dimly visible in the background. Above Mary, a haloed male figure (Jesus Christ) is depicted, holding a small, swaddled figure (Mary's soul) within a radiant light. Angels are visible in the upper right portion of the celestial light. The painting exhibits significant signs of deterioration, including extensive paint loss, flaking, and crackling, particularly on the left side and lower areas. This artwork is located within the Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel.
