The image presents a traditional Orthodox icon, likely painted on a wooden panel, depicting Saint Theodosius of Tarnovo. The background is composed of gold leaf, exhibiting fine texture and subtle reflections, framed by a narrow reddish-brown border. The central figure, a male saint, is rendered in a bust-length frontal view. He possesses a pale complexion, a prominent nose, a full dark brown beard and mustache, and dark hair beneath a dark blue monastic hood (koukoulion) that covers his head and shoulders. He wears a dark teal-green monastic robe (mantle) over a visible lighter blue undergarment, with gilded highlights defining fabric folds. In his right hand (viewer's left), he holds a slender dark brown staff surmounted by a small cross. In his left hand (viewer's right), he grasps a tightly rolled white scroll. Red Cyrillic inscriptions are visible above his shoulders within a red circular halo outline: "СТЫЙ ТЕРНОВ" (Saint Ternov) on the left, and "ӨѢОДОЙ СКІЙ" (Theodoy Skii) on the right, identifying the subject as Saint Theodosius of Tarnovo. The icon's style and craftsmanship are characteristic of the iconographic traditions associated with the city of Tryavna, Bulgaria, known for its school of icon painting.
