The centerpiece of the composition portrays Saint Theodore Tyron, standing, dressed in Roman soldier attire, stepping on a dragon pierced by a long spear he holds in his right hand. With his left hand, he holds a shield and an olive branch, a symbol of martyrdom. His uniform is close to what Roman officers wore, with the painter taking some artistic liberties with his portrayal, including: the plumage of the helmet, the breastplate, the cloak that falls in soft folds, but particularly the face of Saint Theodore Tyron, which is painted by Mincu, the painter, in a real portrait style, completely different from the canons imposed by Erminia. Also, the placement of Saint Theodore Tyron in a landscape, we can see that this is treated, on one hand, according to tradition, as the grassy ground at his feet suggests depth, while on the other hand, it fits within the style of Western easel painting, with the background landscape of the icon displayed in an aerial perspective. In the lower right corner is the name of the painter written in Cyrillic, in black, and the date: "Mincul Zu (grav) 1821 May 16”.
