The icon of the Lord Almighty, created in Moscow at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is a half-length image of Christ in the classical iconographic tradition: in his left hand he holds an open book, and blesses with his right hand. The work was made by a professional master in the academic style typical of Moscow workshops of the late 19th century. The silver frame is decorated with a shining enamel crown, and its fields are covered with a relief chased plant ornament. At the bottom of the icon there is a plaque with an inscription made using the technique of pitted enamel. The icon is an example of the neo-Russian style, which combines elements of historicism and Art Nouveau, popular in Russian art at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
