About this work

This painting shows a figure on horseback riding over a fallen person. The rider wears a red cloak and a golden halo, holding a spear. The background is bright blue with gold borders and small shapes like stars and crosses. The horse is mid-gallop, and the fallen figure looks like a dragon or demon. The name at the top reads "Святъ Дмитры" (likely meaning "Saint Demetrius"), and the year 1886 is written below. The halo and spear suggest this is a religious scene, probably of a saint fighting evil. Look up saint to see how holy figures are often shown in art.
