The left part of the drawing presents the Church of the Protection of the Theotokos. It is located in the Saints Martha and Mary Convent in Moscow, which was founded by the Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna herself in the early 20th century. It had an outpatient clinic and a hospital, and patients in serious health conditions were referred there from all over Moscow. There was also a library, free canteen and a shelter in the monastery. Elizaveta Feodorovna personally cared for seriously ill patients and would read the Book of Psalms over the dead. Together with the nuns she would make rounds of the poor areas of Moscow. The lower part of the sheet holds the drawing of the entrance gate into the Convent of Mercy with an icon of the Theotokos at the top.

Trees of an unusual shape are drawn in front of the gate - they have roses instead of leaves on their branches. Elizabeth of Thuringia was traditionally depicted surrounded by flowers. One of the legends has it that the philanthropist’s husband did not approve of her spending money to help the needy, so she had to hand out bread in the streets behind her husband’s back. One day, he met Elizabeth and asked what she was carrying in her apron, and it turned out to be roses, not bread. The flowers in the drawing represent the tradition of charity, laid by St. Elizabeth of Thuringia and continued by the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.
