Better would have been: "the monastery church of the Holy Trinity at Sopoćani..." (the church is all that remains of the monastery). That fresco is in the chapel of St. George. The dating of the frescoes in this church's chapels is sometimes put at a little after that of the frescoes in the nave (which latter is differently given either as betw. 1263 and 1270 or as 1270-1272).
A more impressive fresco portrait of T. occurs in the same church's chapel of St. Symeon Nemanja:
