Icon depicting Nicholas the Wonderworker and Apostles Peter and Paul, in a solid frame

The icon has a silver riza. At the center of the composition, against a mirrored background, is Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, flanked by the Holy Apostles Peter (left) and Paul (right). Saint Nicholas is shown full-length, frontally, in episcopal vestments — sakkos, mantle, omophorion, mitre; he blesses with his right hand and holds the Gospel in his left. Saint Peter is shown in right profile, wearing a chiton, both hands pressed to his chest, his feet bare. Saint Paul is shown in a three-quarter turn to the left, wearing a chiton, his feet bare, a sword in his right hand. The riza has cutouts for the "flesh" painting; everything else is engraved on the riza, with a frame of floral ornament around the perimeter. The halos are applied, with radiant glory, decorated around their contour with an openwork, toothed crown of stylized floral-geometric ornament. On the riza, above the figures of the saints, is a trilobed arch amid flowers; below are three inscriptions: "S. AP. PETR," "S. NICHOLAS THE WONDER[WORKER]," "S. AP. PAUL," decorated with floral scrollwork; on the sides are narrow borders of pearl ornament with flowers.

The icon panel has one horizontal inset batten, is covered in light-brown velvet, and has a ring for hanging at the top.

The icon's riza was made in 1869.

The icon belonged to S. P. Hryhorieva of Kharkiv and was donated to the museum by Varvara Ivanivna Kreider in 1966.
