Art historian Alice Taylor describes Mesrop's work as "less lively" than other contemporaneous Khizan painters, but his "settings are charged with life and energy". In one such painting, The Baptism of Christ, Jesus Christ is featured stepping on the head of a dragon that is swimming in a river. The scene around the baptized Christ is beneath a sky that appears to be melting, and a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, entering the soul of Christ from above of his head.
