Knight in Armour – Saint George (?) is a 1900 unspecified by Unknown, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a knight in armor, holding a spear in his right hand. The knight's face is blurred, and he is wearing a silver breastplate and greaves, with a brown belt around his waist. The background of the painting is dark, with a faint outline of a tree or pillar on the right side. The knight's armor is intricately detailed, with visible rivets and a decorative shoulder piece. The spear he holds is long and slender, with a pointed tip. The overall mood of the painting is somber and serious, with the knight's blurred face adding to the sense of mystery. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic effect, with the knight's armor and spear standing out against the dark background.
