The icon "Look at humility" depicts the Most Holy Theotokos, crowned with a crown. In her right hand is a scepter, and with her left hand she supports the Divine Infant, who is on her knees. The Infant Christ, with his right hand, gently touches Her bow, and with his left hand he holds a small ball - a power, a symbol of power over the world.
This version of the icon, probably, differs from the prototype of the icon of Latin origin, where the Divine Infant raised his hand as an orator (rhetorician), speaking at the trial in defense of all unjustly accused and suffering.
The name of the Icon comes from the words of the Gospel according to Luke "as if to look upon the humility of His servant" The Savior, holding the Mother of God by the crotch, turns Her face to those who are praying, as if saying: "Look to the humility of those who turn to You with prayer, who ask for Your intercession."
This icon is a high-resolution lithography print on hardboard, embellished with light-reflecting gold and silve foil.
