This painting shows a knight on a white horse fighting a dragon. The knight wears a red cape and armor, and holds a spear. Behind him, a woman in red stands with a child. The sky is bright blue with stars, and a small castle sits in the background. Notice the year "1872" written on the knight’s shield—this tells us when it was made. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading. Look up stippling next to see how artists create texture with dots.
