Abstract
Housed near the Katholicon of the Rousanou monastery at Meteora is a portable icon of Christ in the type of Great High Priest. Its iconographic and artistic affinity both with the fresco of the Deesis in the katholicon of the monastery of Saint Nicholas Anapafsas and with the portable icon of Christ as Great High Priest in the monastery of Stavronikita allows us to ascribe it indisputably to the earliest period of Theophanes Strelitzas-Bathas’s oeuvre and date it back to 1527.
