This painting shows a knight on horseback with a spear, fighting a dragon-like creature on the ground. The knight wears armor and a blue robe, holding a cross-topped staff. Behind him, a small figure watches. Bright colors dominate: reds, blues, golds, and yellows fill the scene, with bold outlines and flat areas of color. The name "Dumitru" is written in the top right corner, possibly linked to the knight’s identity. The dragon’s body is twisted, and the knight’s horse is mid-movement, adding a sense of action. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and space in paintings.
