A knight in heavy armor rides a white horse, holding a spear pointed at a dragon-like creature on the ground. The knight’s face glows with a golden halo, and the horse has a red saddle and bridle. The background is a dark, cloudy sky with swirling shapes that look almost like smoke. The dragon’s body is twisted, and its head is turned toward the knight, as if ready to fight. The painting’s colors are bold—gold, blue, and red stand out against the dark background. This scene is called a *composition*, where different shapes and colors work together to tell a story.
