This painting shows a rider on a dark horse, dressed in armor and a red cloak. He holds a long spear pointed at a dragon-like creature on the ground. The rider’s face glows with a bright orange halo, and there’s a partial figure in the top right corner. Bold colors like red, green, and gold stand out against a dark background. The rider’s name is written at the top in old-style letters. The dragon’s scales are made of tiny, repeated shapes, giving it a textured look. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
